GT vs CSK IPL 2023 Final : Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Gujarat Titans (GT) by five wickets in rain-hit thriller to win their fifth IPL title in a row at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday (May 29). The summit clash was stopped due to heavy rain after first three balls were bowled in CSK’s innings. After a huge delay of rain, the revised target for Chennai was 171 in 15 overs; 4 overs of powerplay and a maximum of 3 overs per bowler, with both time-outs intact.
Earlier, MS Dhoni won the toss and invited Gujarat Titans to bat first in Ahmedabad. The home team gained upper hand and momentum right from the start of their innings with openers Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha providing a quick start. Chahar dropped Shubman Gill on 2, literally a dolly. After that, Gill went on to hammer some remarkable fours and sixes, helping GT attain 30 runs off the 3rd and 4th over combined. From here on, GT gained the momentum they wanted to set a big first innings total vs mighty CSK. Jadeja, one of the best fielders of all time, fumbled to miss a run-out chance but in the very same over, he foxed Gill to get CSK their first-ever breakthrough, courtesy of a lightning stumping from legend MS Dhoni.
