In particular, Starc is expected to be hotly pursued by franchises, despite his history of making himself unavailable after being acquired in previous auctions. Sources close to Cricket Australia have disclosed that at least five franchises have reached out to the left-armer, and he is likely to feature prominently on the marquee list.
Following the registration, franchises will be tasked with trimming the list. The BCCI anticipates around 70 players to be sold at the auction. The BCCI has specified that transactions totaling up to INR 262.95 crore can occur at the auction, with 77 available slots across the 10 squads. Additionally, teams can acquire up to 30 foreign players.
While Ben Stokes has already withdrawn, franchise sources indicate they are awaiting confirmation regarding the availability of Jofra Archer, recently released by Mumbai Indians. There is also speculation that Josh Hazlewood may be available for the league, having been released by the Royal Challengers Bangalore recently.

2018 | MI vs CSK | Return After 2 Seasons |
2019 | CSK vs RCB | Defending Champions |
2020 | MI vs CSK | Same Teams as 2019 Final |
2021 | MI vs RCB | - |
2022 | CSK vs KKR | Same Teams as 2021 Final |
2023 | GT vs CSK | No Reason (Just to Capitalize on Popularity Of MSD-CSK & fill Narendra Modi Stadium) |
As you can see, even RCB has played the opening match thrice in last 6 years (4 out of 7 including next year) without any significant reason apart from popularity
Basically, CSK/MI/RCB are scheduled to play the opening match coz these 3 are the most popular IPL teams, last time when neither of these teams played opening match was back in 2013 (KKR vs DD)
