Chennai Super Kings go head-to-head against Gujarat Titans in IPL 2023 Final at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 28th May, Friday at 7:30 PM IST.
Chennai Super Kings is a team that has beaten all the odds and has reached the Finals by beating the defending champions in the first qualifier. MS Dhoni as usual has led this side with precision, used the resources to its full potential, and brought out results time and again. Chennai Super Kings aiming for another title this season, they are looking unstoppable already.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway have given starts most of the time. Shivam Dube has been a revelation this season, he’s come in and injected the momentum into the innings. With the ball, they have Tushar Deshpande amongst the wickets, although he’s been a bit on the expensive side but Dhoni won’t mind as long as he’s getting the wickets.
Two Sri Lankans have done wonders for Chennai, Matheesha Pathirana in particular has been super impressive and Maheesh Theekshana’s precision has been immaculate. All in all, Super Kings are in good form, they are the only team that looked better than the side they are facing in this game.
When Gujarat Titans lost the first qualifier, many thought that it was the end of the season for them as they would come up against a belligerent Mumbai Indians side. However, the Titans were once again surprised by batting out Mumbai Indians when they posted 233. Shubman Gill proved yet again that he’s a generation player, he hit his third century of the season. He’s currently the orange cap holder.
Gujarat Titans also have the purple cap holder in the form of Mohammed Shami with 28 wickets. Titans have been ably led by Hardik Pandya. When Titans were struggling to find breakthroughs, it was Mohit Sharma who turned up and performed this season for them and once he was the man that saved the day for them, picked up 5 wickets for just 10 runs, proved to be just too much for Mumbai and with that Gujarat Titans will be locking horns once again with Chennai Super Kings in the all-important finals of IPL 2023.
