Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will have a chance to equal Mumbai Indians (MI)'s record of five Indian Premier League (IPL) titles on Sunday.

MS Dhoni's CSK have won four titles so far, with Rohit Sharma's side ahead of them with five IPL crowns. CSK have already booked their place in the final of IPL 2023, where they will take on either MI or defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT).

One of the biggest reasons behind CSK success has been the form of young Sri Lankan pacer Matheesha Pathirana, who has thrived under MS Dhoni's tutelage.

The 20-year-old, who played just two games last season, has picked up 17 wickets in 11 matches at an average of 19.24. Ahead of the final on Sunday, Dhoni met with Pathirana's family in Chennai.
