After Gujarat Titans (GT) amassed 214 for 4 off of their 20 overs, which was the highest team score ever in an IPL final, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were forced to chase a record-breaking target. However, the CSK innings was interrupted by rain after only three balls, and they were then set a new target.

At the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, CSK were chasing a revised goal of 171 off 15 overs. The equation in the final went down to CSK requiring 13 runs from the last over until Ravindra Jadeja smashed a six as well as a four from the last two deliveries on Mohit Sharma’s bowling to seal the victory. After their dramatic victory over Gujarat Titans, CSK tied the Mumbai Indians' record of five IPL championships. Virat Kohli was one of the first prominent players to thank MS Dhoni's squad on social media. 

In the rain-shortened 2023 Indian Premier League final, Ravindra Jadeja scored 10 runs off the final two balls as Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans to claim their fifth IPL championship. Virat Kohli was simply in awe of Ravindra Jadeja’s performance in the IPL final.

KL Rahul and Virat Kohli praise Ravindra Jadeja and CSK

Virat Kohli took to Instagram to applaud Ravindra Jadeja for his amazing knock to win Chennai Super Kings their fifth title. He uploaded a story with the caption, "What a champion Ravindra Jadeja" Well done CSK and special mention to MS Dhoni." His Indian teammate and Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul also posted a story along with the caption, “Capturing hearts both on and off the field. True Legend with a soul of gold. Congratulations to CSK for their fifth title.”

Virat Kohli will next be seen in action next week in the all-important Test Championship final against Australia starting on June 7th at the Oval. He has already begun his red-ball practice in the UK along with some key squad members including Ravichandran Ashwin, Cheteshwar Pujara, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Mohammed Siraj. Meanwhile, KL Rahul is on the road to recovery after getting injured mid-way through the Indian Premier League 2023.

Honestly, dhoni should retire now, he might be a good play maker but not a good player anymore. Give chance to younger generation.
