IPL Final 2023, CSK vs GT Highlights: Ravindra Jadeja smashes a six and a four off the last two balls as Chennai Super Kings defeat Gujarat Titans by five wickets to go level with Mumbai Indians with their fifth title triumph! IPL Final 2023, CSK vs GT Preview: With the final on Sunday being washed out due to rain, here we are on the reserve day (Monday) for the IPL final 2023 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rain or no rain we will have our IPL 2023 champion today. Not even a single ball was bowled on Sunday (28 May) as rain and thunderstorm lashed the Gujarat city and the IPL final for the first time in 16 editions was moved to the reserve day (29 May). There is around 7% percent chance of rain at 7 PM IST in Ahmedabad, the time of toss. But in case rain interrupts the game once again, the cut-off time for a full game is 9.35 PM IST. After that, the match will last losing overs. A five-over contest can be done if rain continues to play spoilsport but it has to start by 12.06 am on Tuesday (30 May). If a match is not possible then a Super Over can be held and it can start as late as 12.50 am. But even if that is not possible then Gujarat Titans will be declared IPL 2023 winners because they topped the points table. GT won 10 matches and accumulated 20 points. CSK were second on the table with 17 points. Now coming to the match. MS Dhoni’s CSK are aiming to equal Mumbai Indians’ record of five IPL titles, while Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat are aiming to become the first team in IPL history to win titles in both their first two seasons. GT currently lead the head-to-head race 3-1 with two of the wins coming last season. This season, GT defeated CSK by 5 wickets in the IPL 2023 opener, while CSK had their revenge in Qualifier 1 with a 15-run victory that helped them to reach a record 10th IPL final. Adding more intrigue to the contest is the possibility of Dhoni retiring from the IPL. There’s no confirmation on this but there are multiple reports that the 41-year-old is ready to hang his boots. If that is the case, Dhoni would want to end his professional career with a bang. And that means Gujarat Titans need to be wary.

As has been the case with Dhoni his entire career, he chooses to stand in one corner as the rest of the team, especially the younger members of the squad, celebrate with the trophy as the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) finally comes to an end!
As we sign off and prepare for some red-ball action in the form of the World Test Championship Final and the Ashes, we leave you with this image of the Chennai Super Kings celebrating their fifth title trophy, bidding you all good night!
IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates
MS Dhoni collects the winning team’s cheque of Rs 20 crore and will later be presented with the glittering trophy.
MS Dhoni, CSK captain: “Circumstances would say this is the best time for me to announce me retirement. The easy thing for me is to retire. The hard thing for me is to prepare for another 8-9 months and play for another year. The body has to hold up. The way the fans have showed their affection, I need to give something back to them. You do get emotional for the simple fact that it’s the last phase of my career. It started here and my eyes filled with water when they were chanting my name. I think they love me for who I am, and being ground is something that they really like in me. I think every trophy that you win, even a bilateral, is special and has its own challenges. I don’t think we started in the right way, and throughout the game there were lapses, but the bowling department came back nicely. I do get frustrated, being human I do, but I try to step into their shoes. It’s important to realise that and groom them. Ajnkya is someone who is experienced, you don’t have to worry about the experienced players. The special thing about Rayudu is if he’s on the field he always gives his hundred percent. The second thing is if he’s on the field, I will never win the Fair Play award. Very happy for him.”

Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya walks up to the stage to collect the runners-up trophy along with the runners-up cheque of Rs 13 crore.
Hardik Pandya: “We tick a lot of boxes. Play with our heart. Really proud of how we played the whole season. We win together and we lose together. So one of those days today. I’m not one of the guys who is going to make excuses. CSK played better than us. Special mention to Sai as well. He’s going to do wonders in his life. Their success has been their sucess. Mohit, Shami, Rashid, the way they put their hands up. Very grateful for the boys. Special mention to the coaching staff as well. I can’t ask anything better. I’m very happy for him as well. Destiny had this written for him. If I had to lose, I don’t mind losing to him. Can’t ask for anything better. Good things happen to good people, and he is one of the nicest people out there.”

“Really enjoyed it. Credit goes to CSK management and Mahi bhai. They said they would back me completely if I got an opportunity, and told me what my role was before the season. They did not interfere at all and the freedom which CSK gives is massive,” says Ajinkya Rahane, who cracked an important 27 off 13 balls, after the final.

After 15 overs,Chennai Super Kings 171/5 ( Shivam Dube 32 , Ravindra Jadeja 15)
What a dramatic final over that turned out to be. Mohit Sharma once again threatened to steal the game away from the opposition with a brilliant final over, and conceded just three singles in the first four deliveries, giving Shivam Dube absolutely nothing to work with. Ravindra Jadeja, however, is no mug with the bat regardless of the format, and immediately put the bowler under pressure by launching a low full toss that was an attempted yorker for a straight six.
Mohit, whose rhythm had been interrupted in the meantime with too many breaks between deliveries, ended up firing the last ball down leg, with Jadeja needing only a glance to place it wide of the man at short fine and clinch a fifth for the Super Kings!

FOUR! RAVINDRA JADEJA FINISHES OFF IN STYLE! It’s a Gujarati who helps Chennai Super Kings defeat Gujarat Titans in the end and help them win their fifth IPL title — going level with Mumbai Indians as a result!

IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates
Excellent final over from Mohit Sharma so far, starting off with a dot and following it up with three singles. Chennai need 10 off 2 now!
IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates
After 14 overs,Chennai Super Kings 158/5 ( Shivam Dube 30 , Ravindra Jadeja 4)
A good penultimate over from Mohammed Shami, conceding just eight off it and not conceding a single boundary, leaving Chennai 13 to win off the last six balls with five wickets in their kitty. Shivam Dube’s batting on 30 at the moment.
IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates
OUT! MS Dhoni walks out to a giant roar from the Narendra Modi Stadium, but the CSK fans are soon stunned in silence as ‘Thala’ ends up hitting the ball straight to David Miller at extra cover to depart for a golden duck in what could be the final outing of his career! CSK 149/5; need 22 off 13
Dhoni c Miller b Mohit 0(1)

OUT! Rayudu’s little cameo comes to an end as he ends up offering Mohit a catch off his own bowling. Was a full toss, with Mohit ramping the pace up in this one, that caught Rayudu by surprise and resulting in a slice towards the bowler. CSK 149/4; need 22 off 14

SIX! FOUR! SIX! And now Ambati Rayudu decides to take Mohit Sharma to the cleaners, picking his slower deliveries and punishing him for bowling down the wrong line. He’s playing the final game of his career, and he sure is looking to end it on a memorable note! CSK 149/3; need 22 off 15
IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates
After 12 overs,Chennai Super Kings 133/3 ( Shivam Dube 25 , Ambati Rayudu 3)
SIX! SIX! Shivam Dube is starting to live up to expectations now and is fulfilling the role that the team has bestowed upon him today — that of the aggressor. The southpaw smashes Rashid Khan for back-to-back maximums over long on to bring the equation down to a very gettable 39 off 18! Expensive end for Rashid, who signs off wicketless for 44 runs in three overs.
IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates
After 11 overs,Chennai Super Kings 118/3 ( Shivam Dube 12 , Ambati Rayudu 1)
OUT! Mohit Sharma’s golden arm at it once again! The veteran seamer collects his 25th wicket of the season after foxing Ajinkya Rahane with a slower ball outside off. Rahane attempts to take the aerial route over the covers, but doesn’t quite get the distance, resulting in a simple catch for Vijay Shankar at sweeper cover. CSK 118/3; need 54 off 24.

FOUR! FOUR! Ajinkya Rahane ends the 10th over with back-to-back hits to the fence off Rashid Khan’s bowling! Much needed boundaries for Chennai, given the pressure was starting to build on them. The veteran batter produced almost identical shots, using the lap shot to beat the man at short fine on both occasions. Chennai cross the 100-mark and need another 60 off 30 balls now.
IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates
After 9 overs,Chennai Super Kings 99/2 ( Shivam Dube 4 , Ajinkya Rahane 17)
At a time when Chennai are supposed to be smashing a six or a couple of fours every over just to stay in the hunt, Noor ends up conceding just five off his final over to sign off with outstanding figures of 2/17 from three, which could be described as potentially match-winning.
IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates
After 8 overs,Chennai Super Kings 95/2 ( Shivam Dube 2 , Ajinkya Rahane 15)
SIX, DOT, SIX! Shivam Dube has been sent in as the Impact Player to try and boost CSK’s scoring rate but it’s the veteran Ajinkya Rahane who takes the attack to GT first! Smacks the first one over the midwicket fence and goes big inside out over long off two balls later to move into double figures in no time. Big over from Little with 16 coming off his second.
CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final LIVE Updates
OUT! What an over from Noor Ahmad to bring the Titans back into contention! This time it’s Devon Conway who ends up mishitting the ball while attempting to go big down the ground, offering Mohit Sharma a simple catch in front of the long off boundary. Just six runs and two wickets in what is a potentially game-changing over from Noor! CSK 78/2 after 7; need 94 off 48
Conway c Mohit b Noor 47(25)
CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final LIVE Updates
OUT! Noor Ahmad with the breakthrough, as Ruturaj Gaikwad is the first to depart. It’s the Afghans joining forces to result in the first wicket as Rashid Khan ends up collecting the catch near backward point after Gaikwad gets a thick leading off while attempting to go downtown. CSK 74/1
Gaikwad c Rashid b Noor 26(16)
CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final LIVE Updates
After 6 overs,Chennai Super Kings 72/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 25 , Devon Conway 44)
Noor Ahmad and Josh Little are introduced after the conclusion of the truncated powerplay. Noor starts off on a tidy note, conceding just six off his first including a wide with two dot balls — which are worth a million bucks in the curtailed chase. Little too restricts Gaikwad and Conway to the ones and twos, with eight coming off his first five deliveries before Conway smashes a slightly short delivery over deep midwicket to end the sixth over with a maximum. Umpire Nitin Menon points to his watch to signal timeout at the end of the over.
CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final LIVE Updates
After 4 overs,Chennai Super Kings 52/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 23 , Devon Conway 27)

Gaikwad then follows it up with a boundary off a firm cut next ball to bring up the fifty-stand with Conway in just 24 deliveries! End of the powerplay, with Chennai looking real solid at the moment!
CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final LIVE Updates
After 3 overs,Chennai Super Kings 35/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 12 , Devon Conway 22)
FOUR! FOUR! And just like that, Conway has surged ahead of his opening partner, collecting a six and a four off Hardik Pandya in the second over and following it up with back-to-back boundaries at the start of Mohammed Shami’s second over. Pulls in front of square first ball and follows it up with a beautiful flick behind square. Veteran India seamer Shami though keeps things tidy for the remainder of the over, conceding just three singles of four balls. CSK, though, are off to a cracking start in the curtailed chase.
CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final LIVE Updates
SIX! And now Devon Conway has started to express himself, shuffling to his left and creating room to go aerial over extra cover, clearing the fence with the inside-out shot off Hardik Pandya in the process. CSK 16/0
CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final LIVE Updates
After 1 over,Chennai Super Kings 10/0 ( Ruturaj Gaikwad 10 , Devon Conway 0)
FOUR! Pulled away towards the square-leg fence by Ruturaj Gaikwad off a length ball from Shami, finding the vacant square-leg fence as a result! Gaikwad earlier got lucky with a thick leading edge in the first delivery after the resumption of play as the ball landed in the vacant backward point region. End of the first over, with 10 coming off it including two boundaries to Rutu.
CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final LIVE Updates
Players make their way back to the centre, HOPEFULLY for the final time in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League, and that there are NO more interruptions till the very last ball has been bowled.
