The highly anticipated Indian Premier League 2023 final between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) is set to captivate cricket fans as MS Dhoni’s CSK takes on their formidable opponents.
Scheduled to be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 29, the match was postponed to the reserve day due to incessant rain. This clash marks the third encounter between these teams this season, with GT holding the edge having secured three victories out of their four previous meetings. However, CSK, led by the legendary MS Dhoni, emerged triumphant in their most recent showdown.

In the first qualifier, CSK showcased their prowess as they outplayed GT to secure a spot in the final. Led by the astute captaincy of MS Dhoni, CSK posted a competitive total of 172 runs for the loss of seven wickets after being asked to bat first. The opening pair of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad provided a solid foundation with a partnership of 87 runs. Under the watchful eyes of Dhoni, CSK’s innings gained momentum.
On the other hand, GT, captained by Shubman Gill, failed to chase down the target and were restricted to 157 runs. Although Gill fought valiantly with a resilient knock of 42 runs, the brilliance of CSK’s bowling unit, guided by Dhoni’s strategic acumen, proved too much for GT. Rashid Khan’s cameo of 30 runs further highlighted the effective leadership of Dhoni, who masterfully marshaled his troops.
As the IPL 2023 final approaches, all eyes will be on the legendary MS Dhoni, who has been an integral part of CSK’s success over the years. His astute leadership and calm demeanor under pressure have made him a revered figure in the cricketing world. With CSK aiming for another title under Dhoni’s captaincy, the final promises to be a riveting contest between two fierce teams. Cricket enthusiasts eagerly await the clash between GT and Dhoni’s CSK, as they vie for the ultimate glory in the IPL 2023.

Chennai Super Kings skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to have a go with the ball first considering the weather conditions at play. Earlier, the CSK skipper was seen walking to the pitch when Deepak Chahar who had a football in his hands tried to bounce it past MS Dhoni, who flicked the ball away from Deepak with a smile on his face.
This is not the first time MS Dhoni and Deepak Chahar have been captured having casual fun with each other as the duo have been seen poking each other.
MS Dhoni a few games back could be seen practicing his shots just inches away from Deepak Chahar at the dugout, which had the bowler smile and move away from his seat. Also, MS Dhoni had hilariously slapped Chahar, who was busy talking to Bravo, and walked away without showing an expression.
