In an exhilarating showdown against the Gujarat Titans at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, the Chennai Super Kings secured their fifth IPL title, thereby equaling the record set by the Mumbai Indians, who have also won the tournament five times. Ravindra Jadeja emerged as the hero of the match, smashing a six and a four off the last two balls. Despite rain affecting the final of the 2023 Indian Premier League, both CSK and GT ensured an unforgettable clash for the championship.

With just one over remaining in what is widely regarded as the most remarkable IPL season, CSK required 13 runs to secure victory. Mohit Sharma, who had been outstanding for the Titans throughout the season, rattled the Super Kings by dismissing Ambati Rayudu and MS Dhoni. However, Ravindra Jadeja exhibited composure under pressure and delivered two of the most crucial shots in CSK’s history, propelling them to their fifth IPL title.
