With their fifth victory, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) tied the Mumbai Indians for the most victories in the Twenty20 event that makes up the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. Rain delayed the start of the match till early Tuesday morning, but the MS Dhoni-led team eventually prevailed in a nail-biting last-ball victory over the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Hardik Pandya’s Gujrat Titans (GT) produced 214/4 from 20 overs after CSK won the toss and asked them to bat first. Sai Sudharsan led the way with 96 not out. As CSK captain MS Dhoni expected, rain delayed the run chase, and the team from Chennai was given a new target of 171 runs in 15 overs.
CSK needed 10 runs off the final two deliveries with Ravindra Jadeja at the crease, and despite solid contributions from Devon Conway (47 off 25), Ruturaj Gaikwad (26 off 16), Shivam Dube (32 off 21), Ajinkya Rahane (27 off 13), and Ambati Rayudu (19 off 8), they fell short. The southpaw finished with a 15 from 6 with a six and a four against Mohit Sharma, leading to a historic victory for his squad.
