LIVE IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT: CSK Claim 5th Title

In the early hours of the morning, after a three-day game, CSK emerged as champions once again. Ruturaj and Devon Conway provided a strong start, with Conway's aggressive play. Noor Ahmad's bowling got GT the wickets, slowing CSK's scoring rate. Rahane hit sixes and boundaries, while Dube struggled. In the end, Jadeja sealed the victory with a six and a four, becoming a CSK legend.

LIVE IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT: Golden duck for MS Dhoni

In an unexpected turn of events, Dhoni's innings comes to an end as he is caught by Miller! It's a twist that almost nobody anticipated or desired. Mohit Sharma delivers a full ball outside off, and Dhoni decides to drive it. Unfortunately for him, the shot goes directly into the waiting hands of Miller at extra cover. Although it may not be the classic "finishes off in style" ending, there is still a chance for a happy ending for CSK. Dhoni's dismissal sees him depart without scoring, having faced just one delivery. He is caught by Miller off the bowling of Mohit Sharma.

Rayudu's aggressive attempt is thwarted by Mohit Sharma, who takes a brilliant caught and bowled catch! Mohit makes a comeback with this wicket.

However, Rayudu fails to connect cleanly, resulting in a high shot off the bat that goes straight back to the bowler, offering an easy catch.

Rahane falls victim to Mohit Sharma, caught by Shankar! This marks Mohit Sharma's 25th wicket of the season, and it's safe to say that a significant portion of his dismissals have come from slower deliveries, just like this one. Mohit cleverly delivers a slower-length ball outside off, and Rahane anticipates it.

GT will be thrilled with their massive score of 214 in the final. Runs on the board in pressure games can be crucial, giving them an advantage. CSK's missed catches and run-out opportunities may prove decisive. Chahar's dropped catch of Gill on 2 was costly as 30 runs followed in the next two overs, giving GT the momentum. Jadeja missed a run-out chance but deceived Gill later. Saha scored a fifty, but Sudharsan was the game-changer, showcasing exceptional batting skills. Despite Pathirana's late surge, CSK's bowling was off target. Chasing a target above 200 in an IPL final is an enormous challenge.

"The conditions were quite good, even after 3 hours of rain, we were quite hopeful but unfortunately, the rain came back again. 12:06 is the latest we can start and the groundsmen have an hour in hand to do the mop up work, We were trying to push the game as deep as possible tonight but if it doesn’t stop till 11, we will have to come back tomorrow. It should be around 60 minutes for the groundsmen to get the ground ready for having a game," said Nitin Menon and Rod Tucker.

The conditions suggest that game is unlikely to happen tonight and it will take at least one hour of time to make the conditions playable.
