The IPL 2023 Final is here with Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans at loggerheads. The match will be played at the grand Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad and setting could not have been better. MS Dhoni playing in the summit clash makes the occasion even more special. One still does not know whether this will be his last season or not but Dhoni will be certainly be aiming for a record-equalling fifth title for CSK. On the other hand, Hardik Pandya, his apprentice, will not let his mentor take the trophy away so easily. GT are the defending champions and they have played like one in this season. CSK and GT, co-incidentally, played the opening game of the season and are set to close the league too on Sunday night. But only one of them will be called ‘Champions’ at the end of the match. 

GT have a slight advantage over CSK as they are playing at home. CSK have thrived in the conditions at home where the slow and low nature of the pitches help his spinners to do well. But in Ahmedabad, the ball will come nicely on to the bat and CSK’s pacers will have to play a bigger role in creating impact on the match. Watch out for Ruturaj Gaikwad amd Devon Conway, who have been impressive together at the top for Chennai. Rashid Khan will be play a big role for GT as the Afghan does not need any help from the pitch to make an impact. He will try and deceive the CSK batters in air and his variations will be quite handy in the home conditions.
