Gujarat Titans (GT) suffered a heart-wrenching defeat in the final of IPL 2023 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). CSK’s dynamic all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja pulled off a heist. Ravindra Jadeja played a barnstorming quick-fire cameo of 15 runs in 6 balls and took CSK over the finish line by smashing 10 runs in the last 2 balls.
CSK fans would be ecstatic as chasing 171 runs (*DLS method) looks quite improbable. Once again, the openers Ruturaj Gaikwad & Devon Conway laid the foundation for the batters as the duo were involved in a 73-run partnership.

Devon Conway made a statement that he also can play the role of aggressor and scored a significant knock of 47 runs in 25 balls and struck 4 fours and 2 sixes. The pitch wasn’t a belter as the batters had to take calculative risks to outclass the bowlers.
The senior batters Ajinkya Rahane & Ambati Rayudu played terrific cameos and were quite fearless in their approach. The senior veteran batter Ambati Rayudu was making the use of the crease quite smartly as he played a knock of 19 runs in 8 balls.

The pinch hitter Shivam Dube was seen struggling to clear the fence but his knock of 32 runs in 21 balls too was priceless and had struck 2 huge sixes to Rashid Khan in the 12th over. CSK made a statement that they may be a “Dad’s Army” team but can dismantle the opposition on a given day.

Nobody should worry about Ravindra Jadeja’s form- Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar was having an interaction with Sports Tak and he stated that Ravindra Jadeja is a versatile cricketer and added that smashing a six & a four on the last 2 deliveries was never easy when CSK required 10 runs to win from 2 balls.
“Nobody should worry about Ravindra Jadeja’s form. He can do anything with his batting, bowling, or in the field. He did the same in the IPL final as well, hitting a six and four on the last two deliveries,” said Sunil Gavaskar.
The batting legend feels that skipper MS Dhoni is going to “leave behind a lot of memories” and everything he did on the field is worth remembering. He also lauded Dhoni for his brilliant lightning-fast stumping to dismiss the Gujarat Titans (GT) opener Shubman Gill in the final.
“MS Dhoni has won the title five times. He is going to leave behind a lot of memories. From the way he hit sixes, to his stumping and catches, to his captaincy, everything is worth remembering.”
“He [MS Dhoni] is a 41-year-old but just see how his hands how. He dislodged the bails so cleanly. It was very important for CSK, as it was the wicket of a batter who has been in great form. He had scored 39 runs in the final as well and it looked as if he was set for another big knock.”
