Ravindra Jadeja, who scripted Chennai Super Kings’ (CSK) last-over win over Gujarat Titans (GT) in the IPL 2023 final, dedicated the title victory to his captain MS Dhoni. With the 2023 title, CSK have now equalled the record five trophies of Mumbai Indians (MI).
For the victory, CSK were given a target of 171 runs from 15 overs as rain interrupted the final on the reserve day. GT had scored 214/4 batting first.
13 was needed from the last over and pacer Mohit Sharma gave away just three runs in the first four balls, but Jadeja eventually emerged as the winner of that battle as he smashed a straight six and a four to fine leg on the last two balls respectively to guide CSK to a famous win at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Dhoni was also not behind in showing his love and appreciation for Jadeja. Just as Jadeja hit the winning runs, the all-rounder was mobbed by CSK players as they celebrated the thrilling victory.
