IPL 2023 Final:

The rain gods had dramatic plans for the IPL 2023 final. Owing to heavy showers on the scheduled date, the big-ticket clash had to be postponed to May 29.

Batting first, Gujarat Titans put up a mammoth 214 runs, taking full advantage of the flat surface. After the rain halted proceedings before Chennai’s batting, the revised record was 171 runs in 15 overs. Chennai Super Kings’ opening pair of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway managed a blistering start. A collective effort from Shivam Dube, Ajinkya Rahane and Ambati Rayudu kept Chennai Super Kings in the contest till the final over. In the end, Ravindra Jadeja scripted a miraculous finish with the bat, chasing down 10 runs in the last two balls to secure the title.
