IPL 2023 is just around the corner, with the 16th edition of the lucrative T20 league set to commence on Friday, March 31. As we look at the injury list of the players who might miss the upcoming IPL.
The opening match will feature defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) and four-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
This year’s IPL promises to be an exciting one, with several interesting modifications set to be implemented. One such change is the introduction of the ‘Impact Player’ rule, which allows teams to substitute a player during the match.
Additionally, captains will now have the option to announce their playing XIs after the toss, giving them the flexibility to select the best possible combination based on the conditions and other scenarios.
Another exciting development is the use of DRS to review wide and no-ball calls. A feature previously only available in the Women’s Premier League (WPL).
However, despite the buzz surrounding IPL 2023, a number of star players from various franchises will be absent due to injuries. A detailed injury list of these players can be found below.

Rishabh Pant- DC
In December 2022, DC’s captain Rishabh Pant had a terrible car crash. He’s now recovering from multiple injuries, but it’s unlikely he’ll return soon. Meanwhile, David Warner will lead the team without the Indian keeper-batter.
