Chennai Super Kings overcame Gujarat Titans in a last-ball drama to win their sixth IPL title on Monday, making it a memorable day for all cricket fans across the world.
On Monday, Chennai Super Kings overcame Gujarat Titans in a last-ball thriller to win their fifth IPL title. Gujarat achieved 214/4 in 20 overs in a rain-shortened finale in Ahmedabad. Later, when chasing 171 in 15 overs (DLS method), CSK needed 4 off the final ball when Ravindra Jadeja struck a boundary off Mohit Sharma’s delivery to give his team their fifth IPL title.
The conclusion of IPL 2023 was fraught with emotion as the last match was repeatedly postponed owing to rain. However, it was well worth the wait since it was a thrilling thriller. Former cricketers flocked to Twitter after the game to express their delight at CSK’s victory.
Gujarat Titans achieved 214 for four after being asked to bat first, thanks to B Sai Sudharsan’s 96 in 47 balls.
Ravindra Jadeja blasted a six and a four off Mohit Sharma in the final two balls to seal the victory for CSK, and even as the players in yellow ran onto the pitch, Dhoni stayed in the bench, his eyes closed.
Neither the juggernaut of the Gujarat Titans nor two days of poor weather could keep Dhoni’s team from tying Mumbai Indians for the most IPL title victories.
