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.”

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.”

IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates
The post-match presentation ceremony is currently underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
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.
