IPL 2023: Five memorable moments from the 16th Indian Premier League edition

IPL 2023 was one of the most memorable seasons in the history of the cash-rich league. Of course, there was the final rescheduled to the reserve day for the first time in 16 years, but there were numerous other moments that will keep this season etched in the memory of both the players and fans. Here we look at five such moments that stood out.

Ravindra Jadeja’s final finish

Ravindra Jadeja found himself at the crease at the fag end of the nail-biting final. 10 runs in two balls separated Chennai Super Kings from a fifth IPL title. Known for being calm under pressure, Jadeja sent the first ball for a six and followed it up with a smart boundary to turn the game around.

Rinku Singh’s five sixes in a row

Rinku Singh, of the Kolkata Knight Riders, pulled off a seemingly impossible task by thrashing five consecutive sixes to chase 29 runs in the final over against Gujarat Titans. It was not a one-off burst, Rinku was very consistent throughout the tournament and ended as the highest scorer for KKR, despite batting in the lower order only.

Many veterans were so impressed by his consistent form that they predicted that his selection to the Indian T20 squad was only a matter of time.
