CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final Highlights: Chennai Defeat Gujarat In Final-Ball Thriller To Win 5th IPL Title
CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final Highlights: Chennai Super Kings beat Gujarat Titans by 5 wickets (DLS) to clinch a record-equaling fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) title.
Background
After 73 matches, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has come back a whole circle as the Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the same two teams who met in the tournament opener, face off in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The two sides have been the best teams in the competition and finished first and second in the league stage before making it through to the finals.
Each of these teams have their own sets of strengths. While GT have an in form opener in Shubman Gill, who has just taken his form to a completely different level, becoming only the fourth batter to enter the 800-run club in a season, they also boast of having the three highest-wicket takers of the season in Mohammed Shami, Rashid Khan and Mohit Sharma. More importantly, each of the these three bowlers bowls at a different time of the innings means CSK batters will have their task cut out against them. They also have a better head-to-head record against Chennai which stands at 3-1.
On the other hand, Chennai too have their strengths with an in-form opening pair to start their proceedings with the bat in Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Meanwhile, their bowling is not too weak either with Ravindra Jadeja and Deepak Chahar doing the job for them. Their main concern would be the batting form of Moeen Ali and Ambati Rayudu and they would expect more from them should they be required to chip in with the bat. While GT have a better head-to-head record, it is CSK who won the Qualifier 1 between the two teams. Moreover, they also are the well-rested unit, having last played a match on May 23.
All things considered, this should be a cracker-jacker of a game but with a home advantage and a better record at this venue for GT in recent games, Hardik Pandya and Men might have a bit of an edge heading into this summit clash.
