Dhoni enjoyed a massive amount of support at every venue during the recently-concluded tournament and he returned the favour by leading his side to a record-equalling fifth title.

"Not In Initial Thoughts But...": CSK Coach's Big Ajinkya Rahane Confession
Stephen Fleming doesn't believe in fairy tales in sport but Ravindra Jadeja's near-improbable heist that took Chennai Super Kings to its fifth IPL trophy might come closest to it. With 13 needed to win in the final over against Gujarat Titans, CSK managed only three runs off the first four balls before Jadeja smashed Mohit Sharma for a six and a four off the last two deliveries to literally snatch the Cup from Gujarat's grasp. "They say there are no fairy tales in the sport, but it was a pretty good one today. It has been a bit difficult 18 months where, as the captaincy was difficult, the injury was difficult, it took a bit of time from out of the game for him to come back into and be reintegrated into the Test side, and then re-integrate into CSK," Fleming told the media after Chennai defeated Gujarat Titans in the IPL final.

Ahead of the IPL 2023 final, Chahar revealed an interesting tale of Dhoni overruling coach Stephen Fleming's decision involving him, giving a fine example of how the wicket-keeper batter backs youngsters in the team.
CSK Better Prepared For IPL 2023 Final Compared To Past, Says Stephen Fleming
Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming on Saturday said that the four-time winners are better prepared for the IPL final against Gujarat Titans than any other time in the past, when conditions affected their performance. Fleming said CSK's win-loss ratio remained around 50 per cent because they would usually build and prepare their squads keeping the conditions and pitches at the home venue at Chepauk in mind, but that is not the case anymore. He said the team would be ready for any conditions -- there are rains expected during the final here on Sunday -- and that they have erred in reading conditions and pitches in the past.
