Opener Ruturaj Gwaikad smashed 60 off 44 balls to send Chennai Super Kings into their 10th Indian Premier League final with a 15-run victory over Gujarat Titans on Tuesday.
The MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings are set to face Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1 of IPL 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday. CSK are four-time title winners, bagging the coveted trophy in 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2021. On the other hand, Hardik Pandya and Co. are the defending champions. GT were one of the two teams added in IPL in the 2022 season. Both CSK and GT are known for their consistency and having proven match winners in their armoury. In IPL 2023, GT finished at the top spot in the table with 20 points while CSK ended at the second spot with 17 points to their credit.
Gujarat Titans will be taking on Chennai Super Kings in the Qualifier 1 match of the IPL 2023 on Tuesday, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. The defending champions defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets in their last league stage match and finished as the table-toppers with 20 points. On the other hand, the MS Dhoni-led side registered a 77-run victory over Delhi Capitals and finished at the second spot on the points table. It will be an interesting encounter as both the teams will be putting their best foot forward to seal the finale berth.
Gujarat Titans skipper Hardik Pandya said that one needs to be a "proper devil" to harbour grudges against the talismanic Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is probably playing his last IPL season. As the Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans line up to play Qualifier 1 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Tuesday, Pandya also debunked the myth that Dhoni, one of the most successful India captains, was a serious person.
The entire cricketing world is asking the same question, "Is MS Dhoni going to retire after this IPL season?". Though only Dhoni knows whether he has another Indian Premier League season in him in the Chennai Super Kings shirt, opinions and predictions over his future have been coming in from all corners of the cricketing fraternity. However, CSK opener Devon Conway is hoping this isn't Dhoni's last season. Ruturaj Gaikwad, who was also a part of the chat with Conway after the team's win over CSK, said that Dhoni has 5 more years in him.
For the 12the time in 14 seasons, Chennai Super Kings booked a spot in the Indian Premier League playoffs, this time by beating Delhi Capitals in a resounding manner on Saturday. After CSK assured themselves of a spot in the next round, skipper MS Dhoni was asked about the secret to his steam's success in the competition. While the franchise may not have the best group of players at their disposal, it's the way they've managed to get the best out of them that has seen them excel. After the game, Dhoni revealed that CSK go for players with a specific trait at the auction which plays a big role in their accomplishments on the field.
Chennai Super Kings may struggle to capitalise on the home advantage during the IPL qualifiers as they are still "not sure" of the conditions at the Chepauk, head coach Stephen Fleming said. CSK became the second team to qualify for the playoffs after they registered a thumping 77-run win over Delhi Capitals here on Saturday. The four-time champions are likely to finish in the top two. The top four teams will head to Chennai next to play Qualifier 1 and the Eliminator.
