IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates

After 9 overs,Gujarat Titans 80/1 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 37 , Sai Sudharsan 4)

The spinners have managed to keep Wriddhiman Saha and Vijay Shankar fairly quiet since Jadeja got rid of Gill at the end of the seventh over, with 13 runs coming off the last two overs. Theekshana gave away just five singles in his second over and though Saha managed to cut Jadeja for a boundary at the start of the left-arm spinner's second, Jadeja managed to restrict the second-wicket pair to just singles in the remainder of the over. Umpire signals timeout at the end of the ninth with GT reaching 80/1.

IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates

OUT! MS Dhoni's lightning-quick reflexes once again help Chennai Super Kings get a breakthrough as Ravindra Jadeja strikes in his first over, getting rid of the dangerous Shubman Gill, who ends up getting stumped for 39. Gill is drawn into a forward push by Jadeja but the wily left-arm finger spinner manages to extract enough turn to beat his outside edge, with Gill's foot also coming out of the popping crease. MSD whips the bails off in a flash, almost right after collecting the ball, giving the young opener who's the leading run-scorer this season by a fair margin the marching orders. GT 67/1

After 6 overs,Gujarat Titans 62/0 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 36 , Shubman Gill 26)

Chahar drops another chance, this time off his own bowling with Saha the batter getting the lifeline though this was a lot tougher a chance compared to the one that he got at backward square leg earlier in the powerplay. Gill then collects his fourth boundary two balls later, punching the ball behind square. Spin introduced for the first time in the final over of the powerplay as Dhoni decides to introduce Maheesh Theekshana into the attack. The partnership between Gill and Saha is worth 62 at the end of the powerplay.

Fifty of the partnership comes up between GT openers Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha for the second game running. Saha brings up the milestone with a single off Maheesh Theekshana's bowling in the second ball of the final over of the powerplay. GT 50/0

IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates

After 4 overs,Gujarat Titans 38/0 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 21 , Shubman Gill 17)

And the Gujarat Titans tee off in style! Saha smashes Chahar for the first maximum of the innings at the start of the third over, advancing down the track and whipping the ball over the midwicket region before collecting back-to-back fours off the third and fourth balls as DC bleeds 16 in his second over right after dropping Gill on 3.

That is followed by Gill collecting a hat-trick of fours to announce himself in the final! The in-form opener, who goes past Jos Buttler's run-tally last year to go second on the list of batters with most runs in a single season, targets the midwicket fence in the first two balls before producing a lovely punch through the extra cover region off the third delivery. Dhoni had initially walked up to the stumps, but was forced to move back thanks to Gill's aggression.

IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates

After 2 overs,Gujarat Titans 8/0 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 4 , Shubman Gill 4)

DROPPED! Did Deepak Chahar just drop the cup? Was an excellent bit of planning by CSK leader Dhoni, who stationed Chahar at backward point with Tushar Deshpande, bowling the second over, angling a full delivery into the pads and enticing a flick. The ball however, pops out of Chahar's grasp. Gill had similarly been handed a lifeline on 30 against Mumbai Indians, and he would go on to add another 99 runs. Can he pull off something similar tonight?

19:43 (IST)

IPL 2023 Final CSK vs GT LIVE Updates

After 1 over,Gujarat Titans 4/0 ( Wriddhiman Saha (W) 2 , Shubman Gill 2)

Deepak Chahar gets a fair amount of movement after being given the first over of the Gujarat innings. Both Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha get their innings underway with two singles each.

MS Dhoni, CSK captain: Rain forecast around, hence opted to field. It has been under cover for a very long time. It still behaves very well. We hope it will remain the same. If there’s rain later, it might get slightly easy. They’re still hanging around. I’m quite happy that it will be a full 20 over game. That will do justice to a two-month tournament. We are playing the same team.

Hardik Pandya, GT captain: We would’ve bowled first as well, but heart wanted to bat. So don’t mind batting first. It (rain) is something that is out of our control. I like keeping the boys cool and they repay me. It’s a flat track. We are playing the same team.

Ahmedabad weather forecast

Rain made an appearance at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday for a second time inside three days. While it had only delayed the toss and start of play in the Qualifier 2 clash between GT and MI, it rained all evening on the scheduled date of the final, forcing the match officials to shift it to the reserve day.

Monday's forecast however, had a ray of hope with Accuweather expecting no thunderstorms during the course of the day. More on that here

CSK vs GT head-to-head: 

Some stats before the IPL final. GT lead the head-to-head race 3-1 against CSK but for this season the stats stand at 1-1. 

Gujarat Titans won the IPL 2023 opener which was against Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets, while CSK defeated GT by 15 runs in Qualifier 1.

16:51 (IST)

IPL final scenarios in case of rain interruption:

Let's hope there is no rain interruption on the reserve day but if it does happen then the cut-off time for a full game is 9.35 PM IST. If it doesn't start by that time then the match will start losing overs.

The shortest match can be a 5-over game but it has to start by 12.06 am (On Tuesday, 30 May).

If no game is possible then a Super Over can be held but it has to start by 12.50 am.

In case none of the above options are possible then Gujarat Titans will be declared the winner as they clinched the top spot on the points table with 10 wins and 20 points.

CSK came second with 17 points.

IPL final tickets guidelines

The organisers have clearly said that there will be no entry into the stadium without the physical tickets.

Even if the ticket is torn, one can get an entry if all pieces are kept together and all important information is available. Part tickets with no details or part tickets with incomplete details will lead to no entry.

16:33 (IST)

IPL final timings on reserve day

There's no change in this regard. The match will start at 7.30 PM IST and the toss will take place at 7 PM IST. 

Fans who bought tickets for the IPL Final on 28 May will be allowed to enter the stadium with their existing physical tickets on 29 May (Monday).

16:31 (IST)

We are back for a re-run of the IPL 2023 final. The match was washed out on Sunday due to incessant rain in Ahmedabad but luckily we have a reserve day and both the players and fans would want to see a full game. There's prediction of some rain in the evening but let's hope it doesn't kill the game completely. The playing conditions for today are the same as yesterday. We will share more details soon. Stay tuned...

IPL Final 2023, CSK vs GT LIVE Score: MS Dhoni’s lightning reflexes behind the stumps come in handy once again for the Super Kings as Ravindra Jadeja breaks the opening partnership in his first over of the evening.

IPL Final 2023, CSK vs GT Preview: With the final on Sunday being washed out due to rain, here we are on the reserve day (Monday) for the IPL final 2023 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Rain or no rain we will have our IPL 2023 champion today.

Not even a single ball was bowled on Sunday (28 May) as rain and thunderstorm lashed the Gujarat city and the IPL final for the first time in 16 editions was moved to the reserve day (29 May).

There is around 7% percent chance of rain at 7 PM IST in Ahmedabad, the time of toss. But in case rain interrupts the game once again, the cut-off time for a full game is 9.35 PM IST. After that, the match will last losing overs.

A five-over contest can be done if rain continues to play spoilsport but it has to start by 12.06 am on Tuesday (30 May).

If a match is not possible then a Super Over can be held and it can start as late as 12.50 am.

But even if that is not possible then Gujarat Titans will be declared IPL 2023 winners because they topped the points table. GT won 10 matches and accumulated 20 points.

CSK were second on the table with 17 points.

Now coming to the match. MS Dhoni’s CSK are aiming to equal Mumbai Indians’ record of five IPL titles, while Hardik Pandya’s Gujarat are aiming to become the first team in IPL history to win titles in both their first two seasons.

GT currently lead the head-to-head race 3-1 with two of the wins coming last season. This season, GT defeated CSK by 5 wickets in the IPL 2023 opener, while CSK had their revenge in Qualifier 1 with a 15-run victory that helped them to reach a record 10th IPL final.

Adding more intrigue to the contest is the possibility of Dhoni retiring from the IPL. There’s no confirmation on this but there are multiple reports that the 41-year-old is ready to hang his boots.

If that is the case, Dhoni would want to end his professional career with a bang. And that means Gujarat Titans need to be wary.
