Ahmedabad: The final match of IPL 2023 (IPL 2023) was to be held on May 28 but the toss could not even happen due to rain. Now the match will be played on Reserve Day i.e. 29th May. Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat Titans (CSK vs GT) will be in front of Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s (MS Dhoni) Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This could also be Dhoni’s last match in the IPL.

Rain, knockout and Dhoni’s captaincy

Let’s take you back 10 years. In 2013, the final of the Champions Trophy was to be held between India and England on 23 June. It rained before the match. The game could not start for a long time. In the end the match was of 20-20 overs. At that time the captain of Team India was Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Batting first, the Indian team could score only 129 runs. In such a situation, England’s victory was visible.

Mahi magic shown on the field

England needed 28 runs from 18 balls. Dhoni handed the ball to Ishant Sharma, who proved to be expensive. After hitting a six off the second ball, he dismissed two set batsmen Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara in two consecutive balls. The funny thing here was that both the catches were taken by Ashwin. That too while fielding at different places. This was the wonder of Dhoni’s field setting. Then in the last two overs in front of England, Dhoni bowled the spinners instead of the fast bowlers. The English batsmen failed in front of Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin and the Indian team won the title match by 5 runs. This was the last time India won the ICC trophy.

2010 Champions League semi-finals

The semi-final match of the 2010 Champions League was also affected by rain. Then there was RCB in front of Dhoni’s captaincy Chennai Super Kings. In rainy matches, teams want to bowl first but Dhoni wanted to bat. Chennai hit 174 runs in that match. Raina played an unbeaten inning of 94 runs. Then the magic of Dhoni’s captaincy was seen and RCB could score only 123 runs. After this, Chennai also won the final match.

Will Chennai become champion in Ahmedabad?

Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Chennai Super Kings will look to win their 5th title. Last year, CSK, which was at number 9 in the table, was at number two this time. The team had defeated Gujarat in the first qualifier to book the ticket for the final. Now once again Gujarat is with him. Gujarat Titans will also look to win the title for the second time in a row at their home ground.
