CSK VS GT, IPL 2023 Final Highlights: Jadeja powers Chennai to 5th IPL title in a last-ball thriller against Gujarat
CSK VS GT, IPL 2023 Final Highlights: In an unbelievable finish to the Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans IPL 2023 title clash, Ravindra Jadeja hit a six and a four on the last two balls of the final over to power Chennai to a joint-record fifth IPL title in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. Chasing a revised target of 171 runs in 15 overs in a rain-curtailed match, Chennai needed 10 runs on the last two balls of the final over, bowled by Mohit Sharma. Jadeja hit a powerful six on the penultimate ball, requiring four runs off the last ball. Jadeja controlled his nerves to hit a four at third man to help MS Dhoni lift a joint-record 5th IPL trophy. Mumbai Indians also have five IPL titles to their name. At the Narendra Modi Stadium, Chennai were off to a flying start, courtesy Ruturaj Gaikwad and Davon Conway, who helped the team get 50 runs in just 4 overs. However, back-to-back wickets of Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni put the Gujarat team in command for a while as Chennai required 14 runs from the last six balls.
Just four runs came off the first four balls, and the game looked in Gujarat's favour. But Jadeja proved why the team can fall back on his vast experience of steering the team out of tense situations as he blasted a six and a four to see Chennai win the final by wickets.
Earlier, Gujarat set a challenging target of 215 runs, courtesy S Sai Sudarshan 96 (47) and Wriddhiman Saha 54 (39). After winning the toss, Chennai skipper Dhoni chose fielding since there were overcast conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium. But it gave no advantage to his team as Gujarat openers Shubman Gill and Saha made a quick start to the innings. Gujarat skipper Hardik Pandya too chipped in with unbeaten 21 runs in 12 balls.
When Chennai started their innings, the game was stopped with just three balls to be bowled after a heavy downpour interrupted the play. The game stopped at 10:30 PM (Monday) and could resume only at 12:10 AM (Tuesday). Chennai were given a 171-run target in 15 overs.
