After this Hardik Pandya said that losing to Dhoni does not matter to him. Good things always happen to good people. The Gujarat Titans captain said that he played from the heart. His team has been such that it always stands together, and no one backs down, after this he said that they are all together in victory and we are all together in defeat. Hardik Pandya said on the defeat of the final that he is not one of those people who make excuses. Hardik praised Sai Sudarshan a lot, he said that Sudarshan is going to do wonders in his life, and Mohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami, and Rashid Khan all also gave their best. And the coaching staff also tried to give their best. Photo Credit: Relationship with the public Gujarat Titans gave a big target to Chennai : Let us tell you that the captain said that he will not ask anything more from him, if we talk about the final, then while batting first, Gujarat Titans scored a total of 214 runs losing four wickets in 20 overs. During this, Mr. Sudarshan played a brilliant and big inning of 96 runs in 47 balls. Apart from him, Wriddhiman Saha also played a brilliant inning of 54 runs. Opener Shubman Gill scored 39 runs in 20 balls. Apart from this, Pandya remained unbeaten after scoring 21 runs in 12 balls.

Photo Credit: TV9 Bharatvarsh * Historical story of victory: Let us tell you that after more work, Chennai Super Kings were given a target of 171 runs in 15 overs, which was achieved by Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team on the basis of Ravindra Jadeja's four on the last ball. At one stage Hardik Pandya looked to be lifting the trophy for the second time in a row but Chennai Super Kings needed 10 runs off the last two balls to win. In such a situation, if one ball and dot go away, then the game of Chennai can be over. Mohit had also made complete preparations for such bowling, but Ravindra Jadeja, standing on strike, wrote the story of the historic victory of his team Chennai by hitting a six and then a four.
MS Dhoni proved to be true to his promise in IPL 2023 and fulfilled the promise he made in IPL 2022!
Photo Credit: TV9 Bharatvarsh If a promise is made then it has to be fulfilled and it is not in everyone's capacity to do this, only batsmen like MS Dhoni can do this work. Even after becoming the champion of IPL 2023, he has kept his promise, although this is not the first time that even before Mahendra Singh Dhoni has kept his promise, he has shown it by doing what he said, which means that there is a craze among the fans about Dhoni. He comes because he is firm in his promise. Now you know about what Dhoni promised and how he fulfilled it. Let us tell you that it started from IPL 2020 itself, what Dhoni promised in IPL 2020, he did in IPL 2021 and after that what he promised in IPL 2022, he did in IPL 2023. Photo Credit: Relationship with the public * The promise made in IPL 2020 was fulfilled in IPL 2021: Now let us tell you about the story behind the promise made by Dhoni and keeping it. Tell me what was the condition of Dhoni's team in IPL 2020, it is not hidden from anyone. At that time the team ended the season at number 7 in the points table. But in the last match of that season, he made a promise to all his fans that he would be back great next time. Whether it means next year or not, what Mahendra Singh Dhoni said in IPL 20, he fulfilled in IPL 2021. True to his promise, his team made a spectacular comeback and Chennai Super Kings became the IPL champions this season. In this way, the regret of Chennai Super Kings being at number 7 in IPL 2020 was also erased. Photo Credit: ETV Bharat * What was said in IPL 2022, fulfilled in IPL 2023: Let us tell you that Chennai Super Kings could not maintain the success of IPL 2021 in the next year i.e. IPL 2022. The bad condition of Chennai Super Kings this season would hardly have happened in IPL 2020 as well. In this season, the team ended its journey by staying in the 9th position. But what Mahendra Singh Dhoni said in the last match of the season was not just said, but he promised all his fans that once again thundering, he promised everyone to come back strongly in the next season of his team. It was and this is what happened. As soon as the Chennai Super Kings team took the field in IPL 2023, it was clear that this time this team is going to do something different and something new and this was confirmed at the end of the season. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, keeping his promise, made the Chennai team the IPL champion once again.
MS Dhoni also pointed out that the Chennai Super Kings star is a lot like him who also doesn't use the phone often

MS Dhoni Stumping: 41-year-old Dhoni did not practice wicketkeeping, yet how stumped in 0.1 second
Dhoni had dismissed Shubman Gill by doing a brilliant stumping in the final match. He took only 0.1 seconds to scatter the pills. He does not practice wicketkeeping, but his stumpings took everyone by surprise. IPL 2023 has been very special for Chennai Super Kings captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He is not the highest run-scorer this season nor did he play any big innings, but he managed to make his team the champion. Apart from this, he scored fast in the death overs and his strike rate was very good. Behind the wicket, he also impressed this season with his wicketkeeping and captaincy. Our reaction to MS Dhoni's reaction time - #TATAIPL | #Final | #CSKvGT | @msdhoni pic.twitter.com/Nbk1XUDDN7 IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) May 29, 2023 In the final match of IPL 2023, Dhoni dismissed Shubman Gill with a brilliant stumping and got his team back in the match. Dhoni took only 0.1 seconds to do this stumping. Everyone was surprised to see the agility of 41-year-old Dhoni. From Virender Sehwag to Sachin, many veterans praised Dhoni. Everyone agreed that even at the age of 41, Dhoni is faster than all the wicketkeepers in the world. Do not practice wicketkeeping Mahendra Singh Dhoni does not practice wicketkeeping much in the nets. He works hard to bat and when he gets time, he also likes to bowl. Even if he never gets this responsibility in the match. Chennai coach Stephen Fleming also agreed that Dhoni is unique in wicket-keeping. In this IPL, he did not practice wicket-keeping at all. He did go wicket-keeping once with Devon Conway, but it was kind of a joke. How to stump in 0.1 second Dhoni's style of wicketkeeping is different from the rules of cricket. For this reason, he is also different from the rest of the wicketkeepers. When any young cricketer decides to become a wicketkeeper, the coach tells him some basic things. The first of these is that the ball should always be held with a light hand and while holding the ball, your hands should go in the direction the ball is going. This transfers the energy of the ball to the hand and the ball easily slips into your glove. On the other hand, there is a danger of the ball splintering if the wicketkeeper's hand is stiff because the ball hits the hand and its energy takes it in the opposite direction. Lightning fast MSD! How about that for a glovework Big breakthrough for @ChennaiIPL as @imjadeja strikes! #GT lose Shubman Gill. Follow the match https://t.co/WsYLvLrRhp #TATAIPL | #Final | #CSKvGT | @msdhoni pic.twitter.com/iaaPHQFNsy IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) May 29, 2023 Almost all the wicketkeepers in the cricket world catch the ball in this fashion. Not so in the case of Dhoni. He did not learn wicketkeeping from the beginning. His natural talent makes him an excellent wicketkeeper. Dhoni usually does not take his hands back while catching the ball. His gloves are always right behind the wicket and from there he catches the ball and makes a straight stumping. For this reason, the batsman does not get time to come back to the crease. At the same time, the rest of the wicketkeepers take their hands back while catching the ball and stumping after catching the ball. It takes time. If a common man tries to catch the ball in Dhoni's way, he often misses the ball, but Dhoni is always successful in catching the ball in this style. For this reason, he was successful in stumping in 0.1 seconds in this match as well. Dhoni has dropped catches on many occasions, but he has no luck in stumping.

The veteran wicketkeeper-batsman was also seen limping several times during IPL 2023. His picture of wearing a kneecap during CSK's lap of honor at the MA Chidambaram Stadium after Chennai's last home match in IPL 2023 also went viral. Dhoni was constantly troubled by a knee injury. For this reason, he was coming down a lot in batting. He was trying to score runs by playing big shots instead of running away. He had also said that he does not want to run and his fellow players know this. What is Dhoni's knee problem and how serious is it? They may have to do several tests to find out.

IPL 2023: How Chennai mastered the 2023 season
Managing individuals, role clarity and multiple players performing small but key roles reasons behind franchises fifth IPL title AHMEDABAD: MS Dhoni is waving his hand, signalling the Chennai Super Kings players to come around. Its 1.50 AM on Tuesday, about 20 minutes since Ravindra Jadeja sealed the fifth IPL title for CSK.The players are spread around the ground, doing their obligatory interviews with broadcasters and the streaming platforms. Some of them are even on the opposite end of the ground. Now, watching this unfold from a birds eye view at the opposite end of the stands, it makes one wonder whats Dhoni going to say to them, is he going to say what everyones been presuming? However, it was for something else. The IPL trophy was in front of them and the name of the franchise was being engraved on it. Dhoni wanted the team, especially the youngsters, to be there to see it. In front of him is a camera, capturing the whole thing. As his teammates cheer on from behind with the trophy next to him, an emotional Dhoni signed Mahi on the camera before walking away. If there ever was a perfect moment to sign off from someones career, irrespective of their profession, it would be just like this. Drop the marker and walk into the sunset. But Dhoni, who has given farewells to several Indian legends when he was captain, is not one for having a perfect signing off for himself. His international retirements say as much. It would be too convenient as he admitted later in a chat with Harsha Bhogle. The roar when he uttered the word but. After that sentence around 2.50 AM, thousands of fans, at least more than half of those who had turned up, let out a roar. But the tough thing for me is to work hard for another nine months and come back and play at least one more season of IPL. But a lot depends on the body, I have six-seven months to decide and it will be more like a gift from my side [to the fans]. Its not easy for me but the way theyve shown their love and affection, thats something I need to do for them, he said. For someone who has often treated the sport as just another job, this year was different. He admitted welling up with tears when walking out to packed stadiums chanting his name. That is why, this win is different and perhaps even meant a little bit more. With four needed off the final delivery, Dhoni could be seen with his eyes closed, and apparently so was head coach Stephen Fleming who was preparing for yet another heartbreak. When Jadeja got them home, Dhoni broke into a smile, hugged and clapped. You would think that this is regular Dhoni stuff. But as Jadeja did his Imran Tahir-like celebration and eventually came towards him, Dhoni literally lifted him like a father would lift a child. It is hard to remember the last time Dhoni lifted any player after a triumph. He buried his face in Jadejas shoulders as the duo cherished the moment that will stay with them forever. This win was indeed special, because unlike the past, CSK did not have things going their way from the moment this tournament began. Getting our players of the injury list and into competitive cricket is a challenge and we are not alone, all of teams had injuries. You need a big squad, it is a tough tournament and we really got by the skin and bones to start with it... we had some holes throughout and we were patching up to be as competitive as we could be when the chips were down, Fleming said. If they were handling injuries on one sides, managing individuals was on the other. Jadeja himself felt bad for the crowd wanting him to get out just to see Dhoni bat. Shivam Dube wasnt firing initially. Ambati Rayudu had made no impact despite being an impact player throughout the season. Then, Ajinkya Rahane who hadnt sustained themomentum. However, the team management made sure they were not under pressure and knew their roles and were backed to the hilt. Come the big day, the four rose to the occasion. Josh Little? Rahane will hit two sixes. Rashid Khan? Dont bother? Rahane and Dube clobbered him. The southpaw hit consecutive sixes off the spinners last two deliveries to change the tide. Mohit Sharma? Rayudu was there, wielding his willow for the very last time at this level. A first-ball Dhoni duck? Jadeja will take them home. If youd asked anyone before the final, these four names might not be on the top of their list to do it for Chennai against Titans bowling attack. And yet they did, which sums CSK as a franchise and what makes them successful. Almost 42, Dhoni might decide on his future in the months to come, but that is for later. Right now, if you asked them what this means to them and the answer would be unanimous. We dedicate this victory to one of the (most) special members of our team. MS Dhoni. So yeah, this is for him, as Jadeja said.

Playing For India, Winning 6 IPL Titles My Most Cherished Moments, Says Ambati Rayudu On Retirement
Former India international and Indian Premier League (IPL) legend Ambati Rayudu on Monday said his career would not have been possible without the support of his family, especially his father Sambasiva Rao, and listed representing India as the most cherished moments of his two-decade-long wonderful journey as a cricketer. Rayudu, who had two days back announced that the final of IPL 2023 will be his last outing as a cricketer, played a crucial role as Chennai Super Kings overcame Gujarat Titans by five wickets via the DLS method in a rain-truncated rescheduled encounter to claim his sixth IPL title on Sunday night. Rayudu said his retirement could not have come a better night and in a better way. It has been an emotional night that culminated in a special IPL win. On that high note, I would like to announce my retirement from all forms of Indian cricket. When I took up the cricket bat as a kid playing with the tennis ball at home, I didn't imagine the wonderful journey that would follow for more than two decades, Rayudu penned in a statement released on Monday. The 37-year-old Guntur-born cricketer said he considers representing India his greatest honour. I consider it my greatest honour to have represented my country from the Under-19 to the highest level. I still remember the day I received my India cap for the first time in 2013 - it is a memory I will cherish forever, he said. Rayudu thanked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA), The Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA), Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) and the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) for showing faith in his ability and providing him with the opportunity to express himself on the field. pic.twitter.com/rwUaptbvSr ATR (@RayuduAmbati) May 30, 2023 On the occasion, Rayudu also thanked the two IPL teams that he played for -- Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. I am proud to finish my career as a six-time IPL winner, he said. Being a part of Mumbai Indians' first-ever IPL win in 2013 as well as winning the IPL title with Chennai Super Kings in 2018, 2021 and of course, 2023 are memories that will stay with me forever. It has also been a great privilege to play with captain MS Dhoni both with CSK and Team India. We have had some great memories over the last two decades both on and off the field, which I will always cherish, said Rayudu. Rayudu also thanked his teammates, support staff, and all the coaches from his childhood for helping him come so far. Also Read: Live Scorecard Thanks to all my teammates, support staff, fans and all the coaches from my early days - this memorable journey of mine would not have been fulfilling without all of you.

Did you know Mahendra Singh Dhoni acted in a film and it's not 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story'?
After lifting the trophy for the fifth time, Chennai Super Kings skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni promised his fans to 'try' and 'play another IPL' as a 'return gift', but do you know Mahi has acted in a David Dhawan movie? Fans lovingly call him 'Thala' and he is undisputedly a king of the emotion called cricket and if 'Hook Ya Crook' was not shelved, his fans would have seen him hit a boundary at the box office too. In 2010, MSD acted in a film alongside John Abraham, Kay Kay Menon and Genelia D'Souza. The story revolves around a boy wanting to play for the Indian cricket team, but gets jailed due to his unruly behaviour. Not only this, late actor Sushant SIngh Rajput, who portrayed MSD in his biopic 'MS Dhoni: The Untold Story' had once complimented the cricketer for his acting skills. Wouldn't it be exciting to see MS Dhoni act in movies.. well we are just manifesting it.. who knows what future has in store for us,, For more news and updates, stay tuned to ETimes.

After a career-defining IPL, is Mohit Sharma 2.0 ready for a national T20 comeback?
Not long after playing the 2015 World Cup semi-final for India, Mohit had gone off the radar but eight years later, the experienced campaigner has roared back into the spotlight. NEW DELHI: From being a Gujarat Titans net bowler last year to almost taking the team to its second straight IPL title, 34-year-old pacer Mohit Sharma has been the biggest comeback story of the just-concluded 2023 season. Hardik Pandya's comforting hug to Mohit seconds after Ravindra Jadeja's final over blitz took CSK to a record-equalling fifth title not only showed the character of the Titans captain but it was also an acknowledgement of the Haryana pacer's immense contribution to their campaign this season. Mohit may not have been able to nail the last two balls of the 15th over after an exemplary first four deliveries but nothing can undermine his efforts through the season as he ended with 27 wickets in 14 games, second only to teammate and friend Mohammed Shami. Not long after playing the 2015 World Cup semi-final for India, Mohit had gone off the radar but eight years later, the experienced campaigner has roared back into the spotlight. One doesn't see him playing 50-over cricket again but can he sustain his form and fitness to make the Indian team in the 2024 T20 World Cup? It is a long shot with the ICC event scheduled in the West Indies and the USA right after the IPL next year but he has certainly made a strong case to be tried in the few T20s that the national team plays in a 50-over World Cup year. One shouldn't be surprised if Mohit partners alongside Deepak Chahar when India playsthe five-match T20 series in West Indies and the USA in July. Hardik, who is also expected to captain India in the next T20 showpiece, managed to get the best out of Mohit at Titans and after a performance like that, he would be tempted to give the wily pace another go at the highest level. Mohit had broken into the Indian team 10 years ago following his exploits under MS Dhoni at CSK but it is his stint at Titans, that he has enjoyed the most. His back-of-the-hand slower ball, cutters and knuckleball continues to trouble the batters but his improved fitness is also allowing him to bowl yorkers at a good pace. Majority of my IPL and India career has been under Mahi bhai. My good results have come under him, big credit goes to him for getting the best out of me. But what matters more for me is how much you are enjoying the game. The 2013-2016 for CSK was the golden period in my career but in terms of environment, it is the best I have experienced in the IPL, Mohit had told PTI shortly after making his Titans debut last month. Having removed the rampaging Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni off successive balls in the wee hours of Tuesday, Mohit gave the Titans the hope that they needed. In the 20th over in which he needed to defend 13, the first four balls were perfect block-hole deliveries which did not allow either Shivam Dube or Jadeja to get underneath them. It seemed there was no way back for CSK until Jadeja's brilliance took the game away from Titans in arguably the most exciting finish in tournament history. Mohit could not be faulted for getting those two balls wrong. In the game of thinnest margins, he had done all he could. Having lost his father amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Mohit's perspective towards life has changed. He won't be thinking about an India comeback but if that destiny has that in store for him, trust him to make an instant impact, just like he did in IPL this season.

Given the situation, this is the best time to announce my retirement. But wherever I've been this year, it would be easy to say thank you so much for all the love and affection the fans have shown me. However, the most difficult thing for me will be to work hard for the next nine months and then come back and play at least one more season of IPL. Dhoni said a lot depends on the body. I have 6-7 months to decide. It will be like a gift from my side. It is not easy for me, but it is a gift for the fans. The way he has shown his love and affection, I feel that I should do something for him. You get emotional just because this is the last part of my career. Dhoni said- everything started from here. When I came on the ground in the first match, all the fans were shouting my name. Then my eyes filled with water and I stood there in the dugout for some time. I realized that I want to enjoy it. It was the same feeling in Chennai, it was my last match there, but I want to come back and do whatever I can for them (fans) and play. They love me for who I am. The kind of cricket I play, I think everyone in the stadium thinks they can play that way because there is nothing orthodox about it. So I think they can relate to me more than anyone else. I don't want to change myself, I've never wanted to present myself as someone I'm not. I keep it simple. Dhoni said- Every trophy is special, but the special thing about IPL is that you need to be ready for every crunch game. This we have done. There were a few lapses today, the bowling department didn't do the job, but it was the batting department that took the pressure off them today. I get angry too. It's human, but I try to put myself in their position. Everyone deals with the pressure differently. Ajinkya and a few other players are experienced, so you don't think too much about them. Dhoni also praised Ambati Rayudu, who played his last IPL match. He said- The special thing about Rayudu is that when he is on the field, he always gives his 100 percent. But having him on the team will never win me the Fairplay award. They always want to contribute in some way or the other. He has been a brilliant cricketer throughout his career. I have been playing with him for a long time since the India A tour. He is the kind of player who can play both spin and fast bowlers equally well. This is something special. I thought he would do something really special. I am very happy for them. This match is one that he will always remember. He is also like me and is one of those people who does not use his phone much. The important thing is that he has had a wonderful career and I hope he enjoys the next phase of his life. The match against Gujarat was Dhoni's 250th match in the IPL. In this league, he has scored 5082 runs in 250 matches at an average of 38.79 and a strike rate of 135.92. This includes 24 fifties. In IPL 2023, Dhoni scored 104 runs in 16 matches at an average of 26 and a strike rate of 182.45. CSK has won five titles under Dhoni's captaincy. Dhoni equaled Rohit in terms of captains winning the most IPL trophies. Mumbai has won five trophies under Rohit's captaincy. This was CSK's 10th final under Dhoni's captaincy. (pc amarujala)
BJP karyakarta helped CSK win: Annamalai on Jadejas heroics in IPL final
IPL 2023 While it is not clear whether Jadeja is a member of the BJP, there have been instances in the past where the cricketer has voiced his support for Indias ruling party. Even as fans of the Chennai Super Kings continue to celebrate their team winning the Indian Premier League (IPL) for a record fifth time, political undertones seem to come into play, after K Annamalai, the Tamil Nadu BJP president said that it was a BJP karyakarta who hit the winning run for the MS Dhoni-led team. Annamalai was referring to CSK all-rounder Ravindra Jadejas final over heroics, which propelled the team to a 5-wicket victory against Gujarat Titans to win the 16th edition of the IPL. CSK needed 13 runs to win in the final over of the match on May 29, which went on till the early hours May 30, owing to multiple disruption due to rain. The equation came down to CSK needing 10 runs needed from 2 balls, with Jadeja on strike. The all-rounder from Rajkot hit a six and four in the next two balls to ensure that his team got their hand on the coveted shield yet again. While fans took to social media to celebrate the victory, several supporters of Tamil Nadus ruling DMK used the opportunity to take a dig at the BJP by referring to CSKs win as victory of the Dravidian model over the Gujarat model. When the News 18 anchor questioned Annamalai on this, the BJP leader said that it was a BJP karyakarta who hit the winning run for CSK. Jadeja is a BJP karyakarta and he is from Gujarat. His wife is a BJP MLA. I am also proud as a Tamilian. There were more Tamil people in GT than in CSK and I will celebrate that as well, said Annamalai. The IPS officer-turned-politician also lauded the performance of young Sai Sudarshan, who hails from Tamil Nadu but plays for GT in the IPL. 96 runs were scored by a Tamilian, we will celebrate that also. Not a single Tamilian played in CSK. But we still celebrate CSK because of MS Dhoni. We are proud that the winning run was scored by a BJP karyakarta, he said. While it is not clear whether Jadeja is a member of the BJP, there have been instances in the past where the cricketer has voiced his support for Indias ruling party. His wife Rivaba Jadeja contested the Gujarat assembly elections in 2022 on a BJP ticket from Jamnagar North constituency. She won the elections by a thumping margin of more than 80,000 votes to become an MLA. It was in 2019 that Rivaba Jadeja officially joined the BJP, shortly after which the Indian cricketer even put out a tweet saying, I support BJP.

The Titans had put up a stiff 214/4 in their 20 overs thanks largely to a hurricane 96 runs (47b) by Sai Sudharsan and a spirited 54 runs (39b) by wicketkeeper-batsman Wriddhiman Saha. Just when CSK had got their chase underway, the rains came pelting down leading to a stoppage of over two hours. The game resumed at 12.10 am with a revised target of 171 in 15 overs, and CSK were off to a fine start with openers Ruturaj Gaikwad (26) and Devon Conway (47) putting on 74. However, in the 15th and final over, CSK found themselves on the edge, needing 10 runs off the last two balls. That's when the vastly experienced Ravindra Jadeja swung the game in his team's favour, hitting medium pacer Mohit Sharma for a six and a four. Post CSK's triumph, JioCinema IPL expert Suresh Raina, said: I am very happy that Ravindra Jadeja got to hit the winning shot. The way he has been wanting to help the team to wins, hitting a six and a four after amazing dot balls from Mohit Sharma. I think this was sensational. You could see MS Dhoni hugging Jadeja in the dressing room. This is a massive moment, all of India was cheering them on. JioCinema was covering them, even the ground was yellow. Ravindra Jadeja has done something only sir Ravi Jadeja would! Another JioCinema IPL expert AB de Villiers said: The best tournament I've seen of the IPL. We've had so many close finishes and this was just the perfect finish. To go to the last ball on the final day of the TATA IPL 2023. I'm happy. I know the cricket lovers out there had a lot of fun, and we had a lot of fun too. Also Read: Live Scorecard Speaking about Dhoni, Robin Uthappa said: Look at where he's in his career. He's at the far end, so he's really looking to enjoy himself and enjoy every moment that he experiences. That's precisely what he's doing. I don't think he's thinking about retirement at the moment. I think he'll take his time, think about everything, soak everything in, and like you said earlier in the tournament, he'll make a decision six to seven months from now.
IPL 2023: 'It Will Be More Like A Gift From My Side': Dhoni Hints Potential Comeback Next Season
Captain, MS Dhoni : Following Chennai Super Kings' remarkable victory in the IPL 2023, the triumphant captain, MS Dhoni, has left open the possibility of participating in the next season. Speculations regarding Dhoni's potential retirement have been circulating since the commencement of 2023 IPL, hinting that this edition could mark his final appearance in the tournament. Under Dhoni's leadership, CSK clinched their fifth record-equalling fifty IPL title, here on Monday. In a final that was pushed to the reserve day owing to heavy rain, Chennai were set a revised target of 171 in 15 overs when the rain had stopped play a few balls into their innings after the Gujarat Titans had rode on a quickfire 96 by Sai Sudharsan and a half-century by Wriddhiman Saha to post 214/4 in 20 overs. CSK looked in trouble as they needed 13 from the final over. Mohit Sharma bowled four superb deliveries, conceding just three runs before Ravindra Jadeja hammered a six and a four off the last two deliveries to seal a dramatic victory for CSK in the thriller. After the win, when the CSK skipper came up for a chat at the post-match presentation, Harsha Bhogle did not waste any time and jumped right to the main question. We meet again. We meet again like we so often do after these title wins. Should I ask you something or are you going to tell me something anyway? To which, Dhoni replied, it's better if you ask and then I reply. Bhogle said: I asked you when you last won a trophy, about the legacy you leave behind in CSK. You said 'I haven't left it behind yet. Dhoni said, Looking for an answer? Circumstantially if you see, this is the best time to announce my retirement. But the amount of love and affection I have been shown wherever I have been this year, the easy thing would be for me to say 'Thank you very much', but the tough thing for me is to work hard for another 9 months and come back and play at least 1 more season of IPL. A lot depends on the body, I have 6-7 months to decide. It will be more like a gift from my side, it's not easy for me but that's a gift. Dhoni openly acknowledged that tears welled up in his eyes upon hearing the crowd chant his name during the inaugural match of the 2023 Indian Premier League against the Titans at the same venue. You do get emotional simply because it's the last part of my career, it started over here and the first game when I walked down everyone was chanting my name. My eyes were full of water and I just stood there in the dugout for a while. I realised I want to enjoy this. It was the same thing in Chennai, it was my last game over there but it will be good to come back and play whatever I can. I think they love me for what I am, they love that I am so grounded, I don't try to portray something I'm not. Just keep it simple. Also Read: Live Scorecard The CSK skipper has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first cricketer to participate in 250 IPL matches. Additionally, he has captained the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in an impressive 10 IPL finals, emerging victorious in five of those. It's worth noting that in 2017, while representing the Rising Pune Supergiants, Dhoni also competed in the IPL final.
In a nail-biting match at IPL Finals 2023, MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings lift the winner's trophy as they won by 5 wickets against Gujarat Titans.

It was a memorable day for all the cricket fans around the world as Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans in a last-ball thriller to clinch their fifth IPL title on Monday
Night without an end for fans...
Their plan was to finish the game and get a train back to Mumbai on Monday morning, before taking a flight later in the evening. AHMEDABAD: AT 10.54 PM on Sunday when the giant screens at the stadium in Ahmedabad displayed the message that the 2023 IPL final between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans has been moved to the reserve day May 29, because of rain, it ended a five-hour-long frustrating wait for the fans who had flocked the venue. However, their frustration did not end there. Such was the thunderstorm that the city had received that night 41mm of rain between 6-8 PM several roads were waterlogged. Add to the fact that close to a lakh people were trying to get out of the stadium at the same time, and it was chaos. The cars were moving like ants in a flood of fans. Former Australian cricketer Matthew Hayden even posted a video on his Instagram where fans had to take a long walk in knee-length water. But most fans had a bigger worry at hand extending their stays and rebooking their return tickets. After all, thousands of them had travelled from across the country to watch the final. Karthik (Dharmapuri), Atim (Madurai) and Pavithran (Dharmapuri) from Tamil Nadu had reached Ahmedabad on Sunday morning and spent the day in the executive lounge in the railway station before getting to the ground. Their plan was to finish the game and get a train back to Mumbai on Monday morning, before taking a flight later in the evening. It took us one hour to get out of the ground and when we reached the railway station to get the luggage it was 2 AM. Finding a hotel was more difficult. We eventually got a room at 3 AM. Our flight tickets, which we had booked for Rs 5,000 is now cancelled. We had to spend `15,000 to book our return flight, said Karthik. Kartik Kannan, a Chennaiite from Bengaluru had walked back 4.5kms his route wasnt as much waterlogged to the hotel only to find out they increased the price by 30 per cent for an extension. I realised I could reserve a new booking for the same price and did that, he says. Similarly, he was cautious about the return travel and booked a ticket around 9.30 PM itself as a precautionary measure. He had to spend an extra Rs 7,600 for the new tickets. That said, his friends werent as lucky as him. Prem, who had travelled from Munich, Germany to watch the IPL final had dropped off his luggage at his home in Chennai before hopping on a flight to Ahmedabad on Saturday. Since he rescheduled only after getting back to the hotel, Prem had to spend an extra Rs 23,000 for the return flights. Another friend of Kartikhad spent an extra Rs 16,000 on the same. Meanwhile, there were quite a few who could not afford to extend their stays and some of them were even selling their tickets outside the stadium. Some of them also had the issue of not having the full physical ticket as it got damaged in the rain and hence could not watch the game on Monday. Those who were able to extend echoed very similar sentiments. We came all the way, travelling 1500 km to watch Chennai and MS Dhoni. The money we lost, we can earn it, but we will never know if we can come and see Dhoni play again. Its a wish since my school days to watch him in a final at least once, said Karthik and Pavithran before running to enter the venue as they were only a few minutes away from watching Dhoni walk out for the toss.

Jadeja hits 10 runs in last two balls as CSK edge GT in final to claim their fifth IPL title AHMEDABAD:Its day three of the IPL 2023 final between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. The game that was supposed to start at 7 PM on May 28 is well into May 30. Thanks to the rain and a wet practice pitch, a two-hour delay after the first innings meant the MS Dhoni-led side began the chase at 12.10 AM on Monday. CSK needed 171 runs from 15 overs (DLS method) to snatch the title away from the defending champions and did exactly that to adda fifth title to their cabinet. Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway knew what to do in the four-over powerplay. If Gaikwad pulled Mohammed Shami to the ropes, Conway jumped out to loft Hardik Pandya into the stands before whipping him behind square. Shami, too, was at the receiving end of Conways onslaught, being hit for back-to-back boundaries. When Rashid Khan came along, Gaikwad launched him over long-off and followed it up with a late cut to the ropes as CSK added 52/0 in four overs. Although Gaikwad and Conway fell, Ajinkya Rahane came out all guns blazing to smash 27 runs from 13 balls, keeping the chase going. Shivam Dube was struggling to time the ball early on, but once Rahane got out, he hit Rashid Khan for consecutive sixes as Chennai raced to 133/3 in 13 overs. Ambati Rayudu too joined the party, hitting Mohit Sharma for 16 runs in three balls before getting out on the fourth. Dhoni got out for a first-ball duck. With 13 needed from the last over, Dube and Ravindra Jadeja took them home. Earlier, 21-year-old B Sai Sudharsan changed the game for the Titans, helping them post 214/4. He came on to bat at a moment when the Titans had momentum. Thanks to Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha, they had smashed 62/0 in the first six overs. But then Jadeja and Dhoni came together to conjure a perfect moment of magic to send Gill back. Now, Sai Sudharsan was a regular in the playing XI when the season began, but with his role at No.3 and Pandyas entry points not working out, they left him out midway. He was later brought back as an impact player, and the youngster made the most of it. His scores 47 (36), 43 (31) in the lead-up to the final were proof of it. Yet, it was a tricky phase for the Titans in the final. That Saha and Sai Sudharsan made 34 runs from overs 6-11 meant one of them had to take charge. And the 21-year-old showed that it is going to be his day. He kicked off with an off-drive of Matheesha Pathirana. He followed it up with another four behind the third-man region. When Jadeja came on, Sai Sudharsan went down on one knee to take down the left-arm spinner. Saha got out but the youngster kept going at the other end, smashing two sixes of Maheesh Theekshana. A slash behind point, a whip through mid-on, a scoop over fine-leg, and three consecutive boundaries through cover/mid-off on either side of the fielders followed as Sai Sudharsan raced from 48 from 31 balls to 76 from 40. Against Pathirana, he went back into the crease and launched Pathiran over extra cover before hitting the pacer over his head into the sight screens. Sai Sudharsan is now on 96, one hit away from a century in the IPL final. The anticipation was palpable. Pathirana came back strong to deliver a yorker, trapping him on the pads. Sai Sudharsan walked back to a standing ovation from the dugout, with Gill and Sai Kishore having the biggest grin on their faces. Brief scores Gujarat Titans 214/4 in 20 ovs (Sai Sudharsan 96, Saha 54) lost to CSK 171/5 in 15 ovs (Conway 47, Dube 32 n.o). (DLS Method).

In a final stretched over three days, Chennai were set a revised target of 171 in 15 overs when the rain had stopped play a few balls into their innings after the Gujarat Titans had rode on a quickfire 96 by Sai Sudharsan and a half-century by Wriddhiman Saha to post 214/4 in 20 overs. Ruturaj Giakwad said winning IPL 2023 in the final spread over three days and lasting just 35 overs was special considering that CSK had finished ninth among 10 teams last season. This one was special, because of how it went last year for us. To come back in style, win away games, win in Chepauk, and the finish was unbelievable. We would like to dedicate this win to Rayudu, Giakwad told the official broadcaster after the match. CSK looked in trouble as they needed 20 runs from the last 11 deliveries and after Mohammad Shami bowled a brilliant 19th over, had to score 13 from the final over. Mohit Sharma bowled four superb deliveries, conceding just three runs before Ravindra Jadeja hammered a six and a four off the last two deliveries to seal a dramatic victory for CSK in the thriller. Pacer Deepak Chahar said Rayudu, who announced two days back that it will be his last IPL, was telling them 'I'll win the final'. That belief that he has is unbelievable, said Chahar. CSK looked in deep trouble at one time after losing Gaikwad (26) and Devon Conway (47) in quick succession. But veteran Ajinkya Rahane pulled them through with a 13-ball 27 and Ambati Rayudu put them on course to victory with an 8-ball 19. Shivam Dube remained not out on 32 off 21 balls. Rahane, dismissed as an over-the-hill 'Test batter' by many before the start of IPL 2023, re-invented himself as an aggressive batter and played some crucial innings this season. He gave credit to CSK management for backing him up. Credit goes to CSK management for backing me. They said they would back me completely if I got an opportunity. The victory is really special. Great team man [on Rayudu]. The knock he played today was really special, said Rahane. Seasoned middle-order batter Rayudu was ecstatic that his career got a fairytale ending. The 37-year-old batter also equalled Rohit Sharma's record to win the most titles (six) as a player. It's a fairytale finish. I couldn't have asked for more. I'm fortunate to have played in really great sides. I can smile for the rest of my life. All the hard work I've done in the last 30 years, I'm happy I got to finish on this note. I would really like to thank my family, my father. Without them this wouldn't have been possible, said Rayudu. On the occasion, some of the CSK players also dedicated this title to skipper MS Dhoni. You're always learning from MS, how to deal with players and situations. It's a massive part of IPL, and that's why we've done so well, said England all-rounder Moeen Ali. On the occasion, assistant coach Mike Hussey thanked Ravindra Jadeja for getting them over the line. Also Read: Live Scorecard Hats off to Gujarat as well, they've been amazing through the season, but thankfully Jaddu got us over the line. Dhoni is an amazing human being. A good example is, in the qualifier, he was telling Senapati to remain calm, and he gave us a crucial run-out. Some of those shots from Rayudu, the slower balls that he hit over cover, not many people can do that, said Hussey.
Fans of MS Dhoni were anticipating and feeling quite emotional about his retirement as the announcement was made during a post-game ceremony.

Very happy for MS Dhoni, don't mind losing to him: Hardik after CSK win IPL 2023
Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja smashed a six and four in the last two balls and along with vital contributions from other batters helped Chennai Super Kings beat Gujarat Titans by five wickets (via DLS method) in the rain-affected rescheduled final of the 2023 season to clinch a record-equalling fifth Indian Premier League title at the Narendra Modi Stadium, here on Monday night. With this thrilling win, the MS Dhoni-led CSK has now equalled Mumbai Indians' record for most (five) IPL titles. The 41-year-old Dhoni also became the joint-most successful captain (titles in 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, 2023) in tournament history along with Rohit Sharma (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022). A sensational quick-fire fifty from Sai Sudharsan (96 off 41) along with Wriddhiman Saha's vital half-century (54 off 39) powered Gujarat Titans to 214/4 in 20 overs. Sudharsan looked flawless throughout his innings and played some breathtaking shots against an indisciplined bowling line-up. Apart from Sudharsan and Saha, the likes of Shubman Gill (39 off 20) and Hardik Pandya (21 off 12) also made vital contributions with the bat. Chasing a mammoth target, CSK scored four runs in the first three balls of the innings with openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway at the crease before rain intervened and stopped the play. When the play resumed at 12:10 am after a long delay due to a wet outfield, the revised target for CSK was to chase 171 runs in 15 overs. Both Conway and Gaikwad came with an attacking mindset and gave CSK a flying start. They played some beautiful shots and hammered Md Shami, Hardik Pandya and even Rashid Khan and took CSK to 52/0 in the revised four-over Power-play. Gujarat Titans badly needed a wicket and left-armer spinner Noor Ahmed gave them the crucial breakthrough by removing Gaikwad (26 off 16). Not only Gaikwad, but the young Afghan spinner also got rid of the dangerous-looking Conway to put CSK on the back foot. Two new batters -- Impact Substitute Shivam Dube and Ajinkya Rahane -- were at the crease and had a massive task ahead of them. As has been the case with Rahane this season, he once again showed his class and played some exquisite strokes to give the much-needed impetus to CSK innings. Though Dube was struggling to get his timing right, Rahane was in fine touch and took CSK to 112 for 2 in 10 overs. Just when it looked like CSK were cruising towards the target, veteran Mohit Sharma bowled with a great change of pace to pile up the pressure of dots and singles to eventually lure Rahane (27 off 13 balls) The see-saw battle continued as Dube finished off Rashid's over with two successive sixes, leaving the four-time champions to chase 38 runs off the last 18 balls. Thereafter, Ambati Rayudu, who was playing his last IPL game, went on to hit 6, 4, 6 against Mohit to dwarf the target, but he got out of the next ball. Dhoni walked in to bat with 22 needed off 14 and he had the chance to pull off the perfect ending but it wasn't to be as the CSK skipper hit the ball straight to cover for a first-ball duck. Shami then bowled a fine penultimate over to leave Mohit to defend 13 in six balls as Dube and Jadeja were not able to find boundaries. Mohit Sharma bowled excellent yorkers and gave just three runs in the first four balls. But Jadeja had other plans and he hit a six and four in the last two balls to give CSK a thrilling five-wicket win and record fifth title. Earlier, asked to bat first, openers Gill and Saha were a bit cautious in their approach in the first two overs against Deepak Chahar and Tushar Deshpande and were helped by some sloppy fielding as well. In the second over of the innings bowled by Deshpande, CSK skipper M.S. Dhoni placed Deepak Chahar at backward square and Gill hit the ball exactly there but the pacer couldn't catch it, which changed the momentum in Gujarat's favour. From there on, both Chahar and Deshpande were taken on by Gill and Saha. Even spinner Maheesh Theeksana, who came to bowl the sixth over, was treated severely as Gujarat Titans raced to 62/0 at the end of the Power-play. It was Ravindra Jadeja who gave CSK their first breakthrough by removing the dangerous Gill, courtesy of a typically quick and incredible glovework from Dhoni. Gill dragged his back leg out and with the speed at which Dhoni operates, there was just no time for the batter to even consider getting back into the crease. After Gill's wicket, things slowed down a bit for the Gujarat batters -- Saha and Sai Sudharsan. The CSK spinners, Jadeja and Theeksana, were getting some assistance from the pitch as the Titans reached 86/1 at the halfway mark. With 10 overs to go and nine wickets in hand, Sai and Saha decided to up the ante, scoring 23 in the next two overs off Jadeja and Matheesha Pathirana, giving some impetus to Titans's innings. Saha, who came to open the innings and looked confident from the beginning, hit a Jadeja delivery between short third and backward point to score his fifty off 36 balls. Things were going quite well for Gujarat and Dhoni brought Deepak Chahar into the attack. The pacer, who didn't have a great night in the field, got Saha to top-edge a pull and Dhoni took a simple catch, leaving Gujarat at 131/2 after 14 overs. Sai Sudharsan was a touch slow through the lull in the middle overs but then decided to tee off. The left-handed batter had skipper Hardik Pandya at the other end but he took the mantle of scoring runs at a high pace. Some poor bowling from Theekshana and Pathirana also helped his cause as Sudharsan raced away to fifty off 32 balls. After reaching his half-century, Sudharsan became even more aggressive and clobbered Deshpande for 20 runs in an over, with the help of one six and three fours. Gujarat were 173/2 in 17 overs and looked all set to get a big total on the board. The next over bowled by Pathirana gave Gujarat just nine runs but Tushar Deshpande was taken to the cleaners by Pandya and Sai Sudharsan for 18 runs as nothing was going well for CSK bowlers against a formidable Titans batting line-up. Pathirana came to bowl the last over and he was welcomed by sixes in the first two balls. However, the Sri Lankan pacer had the last laugh as he trapped Sudharsan in front of the wicket, ending the left-hander's batting carnage and denying him the chance to score his maiden IPL century. In the next three balls, Pathirana gave just two runs and also removed Rashid Khan as Gujarat Titans finished with 214/4 on the board.

Chennai chased down their revised target of 171 in 15 overs with five wickets to spare in a rain-hit IPL final which went past 1.30 am local time on a reserve day following a washout on Sunday. Chennai Super Kings beat Gujarat Titans by five wickets in a nail-biting run chase to be crowned as the champions ofIPL 2023. The win marksthe Super Kings' fifth IPL titleequaling the record for most titles set by arch-rivals Mumbai Indiansin what could turn out to be the legendary Mahendra Singh Dhoni's final outing in the T20 league. Chennai chased down their revised target of 171 in 15 overs with five wickets to spare in a rain-hit IPL final which went past 1.30 am local time on a reserve day following a washout on Sunday. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja stepped up to the plate to take Chennai home after the men in yellow required 10 from the last two deliveries of Titans' pacer Mohit Sharma. Jadeja hit a six off the penultimate ball and a boundary off the last ball to win it for Chennai. CSK got off to a solid start with their openers Ruturaj Gaikwad (26 off16 balls) and Devon Conway (47 off25 balls) piling up the runs up to onceagain. Conway took the role of an aggressor and tookdown Shami and Hardik in the powerplay. Batters Ajinkya Rahane (27 off13 balls) and Ambati Rayudu(19 off 8 balls) played crucial cameos, striking in excess of 200,to guide Chennai through their run-chase. Rayudu, in particular, exploded on the 13th over as helashed Mohit for 6, 4 and 6 to take Chennai closer to the target. Promoted to no 3, Shivam Dube, who has been Chennai's most explosive batter this season, saw through his team's chase with an unbeaten 32 off 21 balls to see his side through alongside Jadeja. However, CSK skipper MS Dhoni provided the biggest shock of the day after he was dismissed for a first-ball duck in the 13th over which sent the crowd into abject silence. Batting first, the Titans reached 214 for 4, the highest-ever total in an IPL final, thanks to Sai Sudharsan's magnificent knock of 96 from 47 balls. The left-handed Sudharsan, an uncapped Indian batsman, took apart the bowling that included an attacking stand of 81 with skipper Hardik Pandya in Ahmedabad. Sudharsan's knock is now the highest score by an uncapped player in the history of the Indian Premier League final. The final, which was pushed back to a reserve day after rain washed out play on Sunday, is believed to be Chennai skipper MS Dhoni's last match as a player. Thousands of fans, who left the 132,000-capacity stadium disappointed after a washout, returned to the world's biggest cricket stadium wearing Dhoni's yellow jersey. The 41-year-old Dhoni, playing his 250th IPL match, won the toss to a loud roar from the crowd but it was the in-form Shubman Gill who raised the noise with his 20-ball 39. Gill, fresh from his third century this season in the last playoff and who leads the batting chart with 890 runs, was dropped on three when Deepak Chahar spilled an easy catch off fast bowler Tushar Deshpande. The opener smashed Deshpande for three straight boundaries in the next over and kept up the attack with regular hits to the fence before Dhoni's lightning-quick glovework sent back the batsman, stumped off Ravindra Jadeja. Fellow opener Wriddhiman Saha made 54 and put on 64 runs with Sudharsan, who took charge after his partner's departure. He raised his fifty in 33 balls and then exploded, hitting Deshpande for six and four boundariesin a 20-run over. Pandya joined the blitz in his unbeaten 12-ball 21. Slingshot-action Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana denied Sudharsan, who hit seven sixes, his hundred but Gujarat, who won the title in their maiden season last year, put up a challenging total. Brief scores: Gujarat Titans: 214/4 in 20 overs (Sai Sudharsan 96, Wriddhiman Saha 54). Chennai Super Kings: 171/5 in 15 overs (Devon Conway 47, Ajinkya Rahane 27, Shivam Dube 32 not out, Ravindra Jadeja 15 not out; Mohit Sharma 3/36, Noor Ahmad 2/17). (With additional inputs from AFP)

Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans : Chennai Super Kings (CSK) won the toss and opted to bowl first against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the rescheduled final of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, here on Monday. Rain played spoilsport on Sunday as the highly-anticipated IPL 2023 final was moved to the reserve day on Monday, with both teams now looking to win that coveted trophy. The M.S. Dhoni-led CSK, who were the first team to reach the final, didn't make any change in their playing XI for this all-important game. We'll bowl first with the rain forecast being around. Yesterday we were in the dressing room. As a cricketer, you always want to play. It was the crowd that suffered the most. Hopefully, we can entertain them, said Dhoni at the toss. Pitch has been under covers for a long time, but throughout the tournament, the pitch has behaved well over here. Quite happy it will be a 20-over game we'll be playing. Serves justice to the tournament like this. Same team, he added. On the other hand, defending champions Gujarat Titans also stuck to the same playing XI for the summit clash. Would've bowled first as well, but my heart wanted to bat so I don't mind losing the toss. We spoke that it is something out of our control (weather).

IPL finals: Loyal CSK fans rejig itinerary after washout, complain about entry-exit issues
With a reserve day in place, the IPL final will be played on Monday evening here with fans yet again expected to fill the Stadium. AHMEDABAD:They have descended in Ahmedabad from all parts of the country -- from Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi down south, from Delhi, Chandigarh up north, from neighbouring Mumbai to get a glimpse of their beloved 'Thala' (elder brother) one last time in that yellow jersey. But on Sunday evening, whatever the travelling CSK fans proposed, the 'Weather Gods' disposed as it was incessantly hosing down throughout the evening throwing the itinerary of travelling fans into complete disarray. With a reserve day in place, the IPL final will be played on Monday evening here with fans yet again expected to fill the Narendra Modi Stadium here to the brim, with the venue's capacity being a humongous 132,000. With the fans allowed to watch the final on Sunday's tickets, there were many fans, who had scheduled their hotel check-out after the final and some, who didn't even book hotels, all flocked to the Ahmedabad railway station and there were pictures on social media how they spent the night at the station. But everyone won't be so lucky as work commitments will force a lot of people to leave without watching the match on 'Reserve Day'. Indore-based businessman Vikas Kedia is one such unlucky man. He had driven all the way to Ahmedabad with his family of four, including wife and two sons, for the final here on Sunday. Kedia informed that his 10-year-old son had a great desire to catch a glimpse of MS Dhoni, for which he had tickets for seats closest to the dug-out to get a glimpse of the legend. Unfortunately, the game did not take place and the family had to keep moving up and down trying to find shelter and cover from the incessant rains, which made their experience tougher. Once it started pouring down, it was very difficult as everyone scampered for shelter and with our kids, it felt a bit unsafe in that crowd. There was no network in the stands and every possibility that me and my wife would be separated from our kids due to the jostling, said Kedia. Due to work commitments, the Kedia family will head back home on Monday without watching the match or their son getting a glimpse of Dhoni. My elder son started sobbing in the car as we left since he did not get to see Dhoni, the dejected father in him said. If Kedia wasn't so lucky, Vadodara-based Dr Nirav Chavda, who is a resident doctor at the Civil Hospital in the city, wasn't ready to return back to work without watching the final. Dr Chavda had travelled to Ahmedabad for the last two matchesthe Qualifier 2 and the finaland will extend his stay. I came here one day before the Qualifier, got the tickets from the stadium counter after standing in the queue for hours. But it was a mixed experience last night, they have re-scheduled the match, which is what I wanted, he said. But Dr Chavda didn't forget to mention the tethering issues that affects every cricket loving fan, who wants to watch live proceedings. Getting out of the stadium was a big issue. Our car got stuck in the mud and we literally had to push it out, he added, saying that he would watch the match and extend his leave. Sumit Lahoti and his friends, three are from Chennai and one from Hyderabad, managed to reach Ahmedabad on Sunday evening and made it to the ground by 8:30pm, but were left disappointed standing amid heavy downpour. Yes, we have cancelled tickets for our return journey, said Lahoti, who is a mechanical engineer from Gulbarga in Karnataka. I came here one day before (on Saturday) to get the tickets. My friends arrived during the match but it was raining. We will now need fresh tickets, I guess we will move to Mumbai from where we are likely to get more trains to Chennai and Hyderabad, he said. Dr Abhilasha Negi from Uttarakhand had taken a leave for the final and was supposed to travel back to her place on Monday, but she will have to re-book her tickets and assumes she will be able to take a flight only on Tuesday morning, and would go directly to her work in a government medical college. I was lucky to have found a place to stay at the BJ Medical College as I am an alumni. I had a flight today, but will have to push it to tomorrow. I had taken a leave for Qualifier 2 and the final, but I guess I will have to go to the hospital straight from the airport, she said. Abhilasha said it was a horrible experience for her at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Everything just went wrong, it was perhaps the worst day of my life. First we had to stand in the rain for 30 minutes getting drenched as people were not moving up (under the roof). We got a little sick, in some areas the sewage water was at waist-level. I saw a few people slipping and falling down in that dirty water, including an old woman, she said, adding that their tickets were damaged due to rain and she was not sure how to attend the match. Himanshu Suhalka had travelled with his friend in Udaipur, but since he has work having recently joined his father's business, he would return and not watch the final. It is already Monday. I would have loved to watch the game but I have to go back. Also, it might rain tonight as well, he said. The majority of the spectators here, despite the home team Gujarat Titans making it to the final, were donning Dhoni's No.7 jersey.
'Didn't Get To See Dhoni': Fans Share Sorry Tales Of IPL Final Washout
A fan informed that his 10-year-old son had a great desire to catch a glimpse of MS Dhoni, for which he had tickets for seats closest to the dug-out to get a glimpse of the legend.
Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans (GT) and MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are all set to play IPL 2023 Finals today of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The CSK vs GT clash will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad today, May 29, 2023.
CSK vs GT: Fans Fear IPL 2023 Final Will be MS Dhoni's Last as a Player
Fans are drawing similarities between India's 2019 world cup semi-final defeat to New Zealand and the IPL 2023 final
MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings will take on Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023 final tonight
Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni will be a playing his record 250th match against Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023 final on Monday.
Defending champions Gujarat Titans will look to challenge Chennai Super Kings in the final of IPL-16 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. If Captain Hardik Pandya's team Gujarat wins the final match, then it will make a special record. Gujarat will become the third team in the history of IPL to have won two titles in a row. Before Gujarat, Chennai had won back-to-back titles in 2010 and 2011, while Mumbai had won back-to-back titles in 2019 and 2020. At the same time, Dhoni's team will go on to win the fifth title. Speculations are rife that this will be Dhoni's final IPL season as a player and Chennai would be looking to give their skipper a memorable win. The match will start at 7.30 pm. The toss will happen half an hour before that i.e. at 7 pm. The match was earlier scheduled to be held on Sunday, but due to rain, no play could take place. In such a situation, the result of this match will come on the reserve day. Stopping Gill is a headache for the bowlers The early dismissal of Gujarat opener Shubman Gill, who is in strong form in the current season, is proving to be a headache for the bowlers. Gill, who has scored three centuries this season, got Gujarat a ticket to the final with a brilliant century innings of 129 runs in the last match. However, for Gill, shrewd skipper Dhoni's strategy will have to be avoided. Deepak Chahar's swing or Ravindra Jadeja's bowling on the wicket. Moeen Ali's ball going outside the off-stump or Mathisha Pathirana's ball falling on the straight leg, no one knows what will break the concentration of the technically-rich Gill. If the match is not played due to rain, then Gujarat will become the winner. If the final match is not held without a single ball being bowled due to rain or any other reason, then Gujarat Titans will emerge as the winners. According to the IPL rules, if a 20-20 over match is not held due to rain, then it will be made of five overs, but if there is no match of five overs, then one over will be held. Even if one over is not matched, then the team which will have more points in the points table will become the winner. In such a situation, Gujarat was on top with 20 points, while Chennai is in second place with 17 points. Possible playing 11 of both the teams Chennai Super Kings: Devon Conway, Rituraj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dubey, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Mahesh Thikshana, Mathisha Pathirana. Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha, Sai Sudarshan, Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma, Josh Little.

'MS Dhoni and reserve day' bring back haunting memories of 2019 ODI World Cup
It is to be noted that Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat Titans have finished on top of the points table after the completion of league stage of IPL 2023.
Indian Opener Virender Sehwag : Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag spoke on the MS Dhoni's potential future, insisting that the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper will either continue to play as a first-team player, or will retire as he does not meet the criteria set by the Impact Player rule. Speculations regarding Dhoni's potential retirement have been circulating ever since the commencement of 2023 IPL, hinting that this edition could mark his final appearance in the tournament. CSK's bowling coach Dwayne Bravo has earlier expressed his belief that the recently introduced Impact Player rule in the IPL could contribute to the extension of MS Dhoni's tenure with the yellow army. However, Sehwag holds a differing opinion. Speaking to Cricbuzz, the former opener said that Dhoni is only playing because of his captaincy and the Impact Player rule is for specific players. Impact Player rule doesn't apply on MS Dhoni. Because he's playing only for captaincy. He has to stay in the ground for captaincy. Impact Player rule is for someone who doesn't field but bats, or a bowler who doesn't need to bat. Dhoni has to field 20 overs; if he's not the captain, he won't even play as Impact Player. Then, you will see him as mentor or coach or Director of Cricket, Sehwag told Cricbuzz. Also Read: Live Scorecard Dhoni has shed light on his retirement plans when he came up for chat after leading CSK a record 10th IPL final last week and said he has ample time to decide whether he will play another edition of IPL, adding that he will remain connected to the team, whether it be as a player or as a member of the support staff.

Hardik Pandya has been quite impressive as captain, winning IPL title with Gujarat Titans in 2022 and then guiding them to a second straight final in the ongoing season
The Indian Premier League 2023 final between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings was postponed due to heavy rainfall in Ahmedabad. The match has been scheduled to take place on the reserve day, May 29.
Process, chennais catch-all phrase
Make no mistake there is a reserve day, and the weather for Monday seems iffy at the moment. AHMEDABAD: IT had become routine on a rain-soaked night at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday. The sound of thunder and the constant pitter-patter would dampen the mood of the fans, some of whom had begun coming into the concourse as early as 4.00 PM. Whenever the rains stopped, the chants and the cheers returned. Most of them had remained optimistic of watching the Indian Premier League (IPL) even if a rain-affected one but once an intense storm cell moved in after 9.00 PM, they had given way to find some shelter amid the intense downpour. Some had found shelter under the banners they had brought with them. They were anxious and nervous. Most of them had come from across the country to get a glimpse of MS Dhoni, presuming that this could be his last game. However, it is not only the fans who were nervous. CSK head coach Stephen Fleming admitted his nervousness as well. The dream of winning the trophy again, for the fifth time, is not something that can be taken easily. Their goal at the beginning of the tournament was to be a part of the final. They were here, on the brink of getting hold of the trophy. What stands between them? Titans and rain. Make no mistake there is a reserve day, and the weather for Monday seems iffy at the moment. However, should it rain through the reserve day as well, without even a possibility of a Super Over, Titans will take the trophy as they finished on top of the points table in the league stage. Which is why, it is understandable why Fleming was nervous. After all, it is a tournament CSK looked like a team that could be beaten on any given day. They were defeated thrice at home in seven league games, which is not something you would associate with them. Unlike the previous decade where they were filled with superstars or even the 2021 season which they dominated through and through, this year, at least until the initial phase of the second innings was over, you could not tell if they would win or not. And yet, they finished second in the points table for a reason. Fleming repeated that magic word in Indian cricket. Process. He underlined the need to be realistic as the gaps between the teams have become closer over the years on a given day. We are realistic about how difficult it is to get to this stage. The greatest challenge of this competition is when you get a new team thats going really well, youve got to disband, and you can only keep four players. The fact that weve been able to stay consistent with those rules in place is something we look back very proudly on, he had said on Saturday. This season, they have done it with a bunch of unconventional stars coming together with their regular players in fixed roles. Shivam Dube, the designated spin-hitter. Devon Conway, the anchor. Matheesha Pathirana, the death bowler. The list goes on. Rain scenarios for Monday Gujarat will win the title if theres no play whatsoever as they topped the table. Similar rain cutoffs like Sunday will be in play, including a provision for Super Over which should begin no later than 12.50 AM on Tuesday. Just like Sunday, the match will start losing overs if it begins after 9.30 PM Weather watch Scheduled to be a warm day with increasing cloud cover as the day progresses. Chances of severe thunderstorms like Sunday is high but it wont be as intense as the one on Sunday Full story: newindianexpress.com

IPL FINAL: Who became the champion between Gujarat and CSK? Gavaskar told the matter of heart
The IPL 2023 final will be played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday. The two teams will clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Chennai, captained by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has won the title four times, while Gujarat is the defending champion. Hardik Pandya-led Gujarat made their debut last season and have performed brilliantly so far. At the same time, Chennai was ninth in IPL 2022, but reached the final first this season. Former cricketers and cricket experts are giving their opinions and predictions about Chennai and Gujarat before the match. Meanwhile, former Team India batsman Sunil Gavaskar has also spoken his heart. Gavaskar wants Chennai to win the title in the 16th season. Gujarat is the best team, but my heart wants Chennai to win. Let me tell you that Gavaskar is counted among Dhoni's diehard fans. He had taken Dhoni's autograph in Chepauk about two weeks ago. He himself went to Dhoni. CSK has always been my second favourite team after Mumbai Indians. My heart wants Chennai to win the title because it would be great to see MS Dhoni win another time. Then it will be proved that making decisions by staying calm and cool can make a difference. However, Gujarat Titans have been the best team. They have a great opener like Shubman Gill. They have Hardik Pandya. CM Stalin enjoyed the journey of bullet train in Japan, said- it should be started in India too...

IPL 2023: Who will become the champion between Chennai and Gujarat?
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will face each other in the final match of IPL 2023 today. Both teams have met 3 times earlier this season and Gujarat has won 2 of them and CSK defeated Gujarat in Qualifier 1. In such a situation, this match becomes more important than the final. In front of captain Dhoni, his disciple Hardik Pandya will be there. This match will be special in the world's largest cricket stadium and you know how the final XI of both teams will be. First of all, let's talk about CSK, who reached here after winning the first qualifier. There will hardly be any change in captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team. Dhoni makes fewer changes anyway and in an important match like the final, he will avoid making changes at any cost. However, if a player is unfit, perhaps a change is noticed. Only the impact player will be from here to there. If bowling comes first, Then Mathishaa Pathirana will be in the team and if batting comes first, both Shivam Dubey and Ambati Rayudu will be part of the playing XI. At the same time, if we talk about GT, then captain Hardik Pandya will once again come down without any change. The team is very balanced and they have a lot of bowling options. They will pick Shubman Gill in and out of the playing XI. If bowling comes first, Josh Litting will be in the playing XI and if batting comes first, Shubman Gill will be part of the team. Apart from this, there will be no other changes in the team. Probable playing XI of Chennai Super Kings Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Ambati Rayudu, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (captain and wicketkeeper), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande and Mahesh Thikshman Impact Player : Mathisha Pathirana Probable playing XI of Gujarat Titans Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Sai Sudarshan, Hardik Pandya (c), Vijay Shankar, David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmed, Mohammed Shami and Mohit Sharma (wk).

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan heaped praise on Hardik Pandya's leadership skill for Gujarat Titans and said that the all-rounder has that midas touch to become an outstanding white-ball captain, tipping the all-rounder to become the India skipper in shorter formats of the game in the future. Since taking over the captaincy role for Gujarat Titans, Hardik has been a revelation. He led the new franchise to the IPL title in their maiden campaign last year and now has taken to the final of IPL 2023, where his side will face CSK on Sunday. Hardik currently has a win percentage of more than 70 in the IPL, which is even better than the legendary CSK skipper MS Dhoni. Hardik Pandya is going to captain India. I can convince all of you listening to this, that he is going to captain India. I don't know when it is going to be. He will captain India in white-ball cricket, Vaughan told Cricbuzz. He has got calmness, he has got the game. I'm worried about his injury to his back, but he has just got that persona right in the middle. You can see his body language. The way he maneuvers his field calmly. The way he makes his bowling changes. Yes, he has got two outstanding spinners and Mohammed Shami, who has been the best seamer in the tournament. You need bowlers as a captain. He has got that midas touch you need to be an outstanding white-ball captain, he added.
