From Jasprit Bumrah to Rishabh Pant, from Shreyas Iyer to Jonny Bairstow, Editorji brings you the full list of injured players and the replacements announced by the franchises
Mumbai Indians
The injuries to pacers Jasprit Bumrah &amp; Jhye Richardson have caused a depletion in Mumbai Indians' fast bowling stocks with the franchise yet to name their replacements.
Delhi Capitals
Captain Rishabh Pant will be a big miss for the Delhi Capitals this season and 21-year-old Abishek Porel from Bengal has been roped in as his replacement.&nbsp;
Punjab Kings
Jonny Bairstow, who is still recovering from his freak leg injury misses out for the Punjab Kings, who have brought in Big Bash's Most Valuable Player this season, all-rounder Matthew Short.
Chennai Super Kings
New Zealand pacer Kyle Jamieson has been ruled out due to a back injury and the Men in Yellow have roped in South African pacer Sisanda Magala. Their rising star last season, Mukesh Choudhary, is also a serious doubt.
Kolkata Knight Riders
There's no return date set for KKR captain Shreyas Iyer and the Knight Riders haven't named a replacement yet even as Nitish Rana has been appointed captain in Iyer's absence.
Royal Challengers Bangalore
With England's Will Jacks ruled out, RCB have named New Zealand all-rounder Michael Bracewell as his replacement. They are also sweating over the fitness of batter Rajat Patidar &amp; pacer Josh Hazlewood with the duo set to miss a big chunk of games. Meanwhile, Aussie all-rounder Glenn Maxwell is also a doubtful starter at the start of the season.
Rajasthan Royals
The Royals are without the services of fast bowler Prasidh Krishna and they have signed Sandeep Sharma to replace the 27-year-old.
Lucknow Super Giants
Mohsin Khan, whose exceptional bowling exploits saw him become LSG's go-to bowler last season, could miss the majority of season due to a shoulder issue.

It's that time of the year again when India's biggest cricket festival is around the corner.
4-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will face defending champions Gujarat Titans in the first match of IPL 2023 on Friday, in Ahmedabad.
Emotions will run high as it will be a clash between the legendary MS Dhoni and one of his biggest admirers Hardik Pandya.
The two may share a great bond off the field but on it, the battle will be fierce. While Dhoni would be eager to start what is likely to be his last season on a high, Hardik would be itching to prove that GT's dream run in the inaugural season wasn't a flash in the pan.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Though Gujarat Giants won both their games against CSK last year, the Yellow Army can not be taken lightly.
WEATHER
It promises to be perfect weather for the IPL 2023 opener as the forecast shows no rain, with a moderate temperature between 28-30 degrees celsius.

Ben Stokes might not be fit to bowl but his inclusion in the playing XI as a pure batter is enough for Gujarat to be a little concerned about.

Teams will be allowed to use an impact player at any time of the match, where they can replace a player from the starting XI with one of the five substitutes named at the toss.

IPL 2023: From Impact player to DRS reviews, find out WHAT'S NEW this season

A season of many firsts, #IPL2023 is set to introduce a number of changes never seen before at the world's biggest T20 competition.

Here's WHAT'S NEW!

Teams will be allowed to use an impact player at any time of the match, where they can replace a player from the starting XI with one of the five substitutes named at the toss.

The IPL is back!
And the 2023 edition will see many firsts which will add more excitement to the contests.
For one, teams will now pick their XIs after the toss, which means they'll have two sets of Playing XIs ready - one for if they're bowling and one for if they're batting.
And then there's the Impact Player rule, where teams will now name 5 substitutes in addition to their playing XIs. And they will be allowed to replace any of their players in the starting XI with one of those 5 substitutes at any point in the match. However, the impact player has to be an Indian if the team already has 4 overseas stars. Only when there are three or fewer foreigners in the XI, the team will be allowed to introduce another as an impact player.
Not to forget, the DRS has also undergone a revamp. Like in the Women's Premier League, the captains can now use DRS reviews to challenge no-ball &amp; wide calls made by the on-field umpires.
These rule changes will surely add even more value to the most popular T20 competition in the world.&nbsp;

#LSG #KLRahul

Mohsin Khan's injury surely comes as a big blow but with Mark Wood, Avesh Khan &amp; Jaydev Unadkat all available, LSG have got the experience of players who have won both international &amp; domestic honours.

After finishing 3rd on the points table in their debut season, the Lucknow Super Giants are heading into IPL 2023 with renewed determination of going the distance this time around.
The Super Giants retained their strength from last year while adding even more firepower in the December auction.
With Quinton de Kock &amp; KL Rahul at the top of the order, LSG boasts of arguably the best opening pair in the IPL. The duo's 210-run record-shattering opening partnership against KKR last year still remains fresh in the minds of many.
Nicholas Pooran, who was bought for a whopping ₹16 CR, will bolster a superb line-up that possesses top all-rounders in Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis &amp; Krunal Pandya. The likes of Kyle Mayers, Daniel Sams, Romario Shepherd, Krishnappa Gowtham &amp; Prerak Mankad add significant depth to their all-rounders department.
With Ayush Badoni, Karan Sharma &amp; Manan Vohra also in the squad, they truly have put together a strong batting unit.
In the spin department, veteran Amit Mishra's expertise could have a significant impact while Ravi Bishnoi's mastery will be a tough test for batters.
Mohsin Khan's injury surely comes as a big blow but with Mark Wood, Avesh Khan &amp; Jaydev Unadkat all available, LSG have got the experience of players who have won both international &amp; domestic honours.
With the added support of their home fans in Lucknow, don't be surprised if the Super Giants continue right from where they left off last season.
