The IPL 2023 Final turned into an exciting three-day spectacle, ultimately resulting in the Chennai Super Kings clinching their fifth championship title. Led by MS Dhoni, CSK showcased resilience despite rain interruptions throughout the match. The internet buzzed with congratulatory messages from fans and we have compiled the best fan reactions.
The opening partnership of Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha provided a strong platform for the Gujarat Titans, with Saha’s elegant 54 runs and Gill’s aggressive batting putting the Chennai Super Kings bowlers on the back foot.
Taking advantage of the solid start, the Gujarat Titans’ middle-order, led by Sai Sudarsan’s impressive 96 runs and Hardik Pandya’s dynamic captaincy contributing 21 runs, set a challenging target of 215 runs for the CSKΒ to chase.
In response, the Chennai Super Kings began their chase aggressively, led by Ruturaj Gaikwad’s powerful strokes. However, the disciplined bowling attack of the Gujarat Titans, led by Mohit Sharma, restricted CSK’s progress. Sharma’s clever use of spin resulted in crucial wickets, and spinner Noor Ahmad played a significant role by taking two important wickets.
Despite a setback when captain MS Dhoni was dismissed for a Golden Duck by Mohit Sharma, spirited contributions from Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, Ravindra Jadeja, and Shiva Dube kept CSK in the game.
