Never-say-die CSK end rollercoaster IPL final with fifth title
A prolonged rain delay with CSK 4-0 after just three balls meant that, upon the return, they needed a revised target of 171 in 15 overs.
CSK’s formidable opening pair of Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad continued their excellent form this season, putting on 74 for the first wicket before Gaikwad went for a 16-ball 26. Conway, who top-scored for the Super Kings went, soon after, for a 25-ball 47.
In the end, an unbeaten 22-run partnership between Shivam Dube (32*) and Ravindra Jadeja (15*) handed Chennai their fifth IPL title, putting them alongside the Mumbai Indians at the top of the pile.
Ravindra Jadeja finished the job for CSK with a six and a four on the last two balls•May 29, 2023•AFP/Getty Images The match came down to the last two deliveries, with Jadeja facing pacer Mohit Sharma needing 10 to win.
He hit the fifth ball of the final over for a straight six before clipping the final ball down to the fine leg boundary to secure the win.
Sharma tried his best with the ball, taking 3-36 from his three overs while Noor Ahmad took 2-17 from his three. (SportsMax)
