Chennai Super Kings is the second-most successful team in the IPL. They have the highest win percentage (58.98%) of all IPL teams and have won the league's championship four times (in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021). The team has served a two-year suspension due to their owners' involvement in the 2013 IPL betting case. Despite that, they hold the record for the most playoff appearances (eleven) and final appearances (nine). In addition, they also won the Champions League Twenty20 in 2010 and 2014. In 2019, their brand value was estimated to be around ₹732 crores (roughly $104 million), making them one of the most valuable IPL franchises.
On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders are the team that has shown its capabilities and won the IPL more than once (2012 & 2014). The team struggled to play well throughout its early years, but things changed for the better after winning the first title in 2012. And since then, they have won the IPL title again in 2014 and put in solid performances every year in the league. KKR could not make it to the IPL 2022 playoffs and finished seventh in the points table.

Before the auction, the four-time champions Chennai Super Kings players Chris Jordan and Adam Milne, who have been unable to perform at their best were let go. Robin Uthappa and Ambati Rayudu are released as they have retired.
Kolkata Knight Riders have to let go of some players ahead of the mega auction 2023 and retain a few players who will fit in their future plans. The two-time champions have traded Shivam Mavi to bring back the ace-pacer Lockie Ferguson (10 Cr) in the squad.
CSK Captain MS Dhoni
He played 234 matches in the IPL, and scored 4978 runs as CSK’s captain. Chennai Super Kings won 4 IPL trophies during Dhoni’s reign. MS Dhoni, a batting powerhouse, can dismantle various bowling combinations himself. The sparkling trophies in the trophy cabinets at CSK are a testament to his remarkable leadership qualities. His persona of calmness and poise, combined with a sharp cricketing mind, makes for a lethal combination on the cricketing field. He renounced his captaincy during the previous season. But after the team's poor performance, he was reappointed as captain.
KKR Captain Shreyas Iyer
A young batter and a young captain leading the young team, Shreyas Iyer, would lead the team to victory this season. He played 14 matches for KKR and scored 401 runs with an average of 30.85. Iyer’s highest score in the league is 96.
Here is the tentative IPL 2023 schedule of the match between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders.
| Teams | CSK vs KKR |
| Date | 25 March 2023 |
| Time | 7:30 PM |
The first match of the IPL 16th season will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders on March 25, 2023. Both the teams had indifferent seasons in IPL 2022 and performed below expectations and are looking for ways to fix their team before the start of IPL 2023.
KKR finished seventh with 12 points from 14 games under Shreyas Iyer's captaincy, and CSK ended the IPL 2022 with 8 points winning four matches out of 14. Despite Chennai Super King's previous performance, the team holds a clear edge over KKR regarding a head-to-head match between the two. CSK has come out on top 14 times in 25 games when playing against KKR, while the latter team has only won eight times against CSK. The Chennai Super Kings, however, have performed poorly in the previous season but still have a higher chance of winning the game.
