Hardik Pandya pace like fyaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

146kph and basically broke Cameron Green's forearm
 
GT 233/3 (20)

MI 171 (18.2)

Gujarat Titans won by 62 runs

==

Back-to-back finals for Gujarat Titans. They win the second qualifier by 62 runs, but don't let the margin of defeat fool you because MI were keeping pace with the chase for quite a while. They lost Ishan Kishan before the innings began, and impact sub Nehal Wadhera was out first over, falling to Shami. The Indian pacer struck again, as Rohit miscued his pull towards fine leg.

Tilak Varma came out and scored at a brisk rate, smoking 24 runs off a Shami over. However, he was knocked over by Rashid in the final powerplay over. MI then found their best phase with Cam Green and Suryakumar stitching a nice partnership, but then Josh Little knocked down the big Aussie.

From there, the innings went downhill, and although SKY threatened to take the game away once again, he couldn't do everything. Suryakumar was dismissed shortly after his 50, as Mohit Sharma struck in his first over.

And then what a game the comeback man had, as he cleaned out the tail and finished with his best IPL figures - 5/10.

It's going to be the Chennai Super Kings facing the Gujarat Titans in the summit clash

His reflexes have slowed down to play those front foot pull shots like he used to do. He is 35+ and will only get worse.

Simple thing to learn is: Rohit Sharma should only play Tests from now onwards (if he has any cricket left in him! He is doing well in Tests off late, so he can carry his legacy there). Kohli should stick to only ODIs & Tests (if he is relieved from the burden of too much T20s, then he can do fine in the other two formats! Even in IPL he should take it easy... RCB should focus on forming a team rather than concentrating/branding individuals). Same way Rahul should stick to ODIs (middle order) and Tests (guess middle order here too OR forget tests too if we have other replacements). Never ever call back Dhawan, DK, etc, etc! For God sake don't bring back Rahane, Vijay Shankar, etc, to Indian T20 team based on the "Experience" factor and the "form" in IPL!

IPL is about identifying and grooming young talents AND giving luxury-pension to oldies (that way they can even retain their fame/brand, but should never exploit international cricket). Every cricketer (youngsters, prime players, oldies, average, not-so-good and even fit for nothing at times) can play IPL as we have so many teams and so many spots, but then make sensible selection for national team (for various formats).

T20s should be immediately handed over to young brigade! Please stop this experience, seniority, maturity, etc, craps! If anything that T20 demands is "Free Mind" (It doesn't require all these maintaining stats, stardom, building career, playing within yourself, finding your feet, getting used to conditions, blah, blah non-senses!) Nobody should actually bother about "career" also! Even if a player plays for 3 to 5 years and vanishes suddenly it doesn't matter! IT IS JUST THAT KIND OF FORMAT...!
 
The champions of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 will be crowned on Sunday, with the summit clash scheduled to take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Titans, who are the defending champions, would be hoping to retain the trophy that they won last year.

But, standing in front of them is the Super Kings hurdle, a side that has won the trophy 4 times, under the leadership of MS Dhoni. However, there also remains a little concern over the weather, especially after the way rain came downpouring at the venue on Friday during the Qualifier 2 between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians.

When the two teams locked horns in the Qualifier 1, Dhoni's men emerged triumphant comfortably. However, the two teams will have another factor to prepare for in the final as they square off again in the summit clash.

While the afternoon is fairly clear, the chances of rain would increase at the venue as the day progresses. According to Accuweather, there is about an 80% chance of rain later in the day.

In the evening, about 2 hours of rain could take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium on the occasion of the final.

Is there a Reserve Day in place if the IPL 2023 final gets abandoned?

If a minimum of 5 overs per side could not be completed in the match, there is a reserve day in place (on Monday) when the match will take place. But, there are some additional conditions too that are to be kept in mind.

If at least one ball is bowled on Sunday, the contest will pick up where it left off the previous day. In a scenario where the toss is held on Sunday but play doesn't happen, a new 20-over per side match will start on Monday. Even the toss would be repeated on the reserve day. The captains would also be allowed to change teams on the reserve day.

So, the grand Finale today. I personally felt this has been one of the best IPL season in its short but decorated history. The last couple of editions were absolute borefest due to Covid but this year IPL is truely back with a bang. The proper home and away matches meant the crowd passion and state support is back as well. The jam packed stadiums in all matches is a living proof of it. IPL can do with couple of better bowlers though and if they can fix this aspect from next edition, it will be even better quality. Anyway, not often I say it but I will miss it from tomorrow where there will be no IPL game on tele. This is the only edition of IPL which is giving that feeling of - "Why it is ending?" rather than "When its ending?" we get other years.

10 IPL Finals in 14 years(2015 and 2016 suspended).
12 times top 4 qualification in 14 years

Only in recent years( 2020 and 2022), they have failed to make it to top 4 due to absence of Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni himself being past his prime.
 
And if Dhoni vs Hardik is not enough to excite you, there is a political angle to this final as well. Imagine MK Stallin's Chennai team beating Gujarat in Nadendra Modi stadium in front of Jay Shah?

Would prefer Gujarat to win. Dhoni doesn't deserve to go out on a high after shamelessly clinging on for so long and losing us a World Cup.

I'm not insanely biased bro :apology
 
22:42 Local Time, 17:12 GMT, 22:42 IST: Alright folks! We are slowly getting into that territory where we will have some official news. In all likelihood, the game is expected to be postponed for tomorrow. On a positive note, the forecast looks excellent tomorrow.

The Indian Premier League final between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans has been postponed until Monday because of heavy rain in Ahmedabad.

The rain briefly stopped at about 16:30 on Sunday, with the covers taken off and the players coming out to warm up, but it returned within 15 minutes.

Chennai are looking to equal Mumbai's record tally of five IPL titles.

Gujarat are aiming to retain the title they won in their inaugural season in 2022.

If no play is possible on Monday, Gujarat will win the title after topping the league table with 20 points - three more than Chennai in second.

Chennai beat Gujarat in Qualifier 1 to become the first side to qualify for the final, with Gujarat then seeing off Mumbai Indians to earn the second final spot.

Gill may go out of the factor for CSK with GT batting first and with a damp wicket (A new ball bowler should aim to bowl accurately)

Chahar dropped the IPL. MSD placed fantastically a fielder according to the pace of the pitch. Chahar shelled it.
 
What the ******** Gavaskar talking about Jadeja's sportsmanship! With so many camera angles and slow motions you will get caught & embarrassed!
 
Its not a heartbreaking situation for GT. They need to carry on this start and not worry of Gill's loss... You don't need 220+ to win in a finals...
 
If Gill had taken his time and tried to "build" his inning and scored 25 from his 19 balls then it would have been a terrible innings.

Sure, nice time to struggle in a Final batting at no.3

Should retire out ASAP if he has shame left. Or just hit out.
 
I am watching this game in a pub in Essex with some of my Tamil friends. Man they are so passionate about CSK team....full dance after Gill's wicket. Who says IPL supports are fake?
 
What kind of bowling attack is this for a major tournament final? Ever heard of those names? Even Anwar Ali and Khishdil Shah would have scored 250 SR hundreds against it.

I am zero hyped about this non-show.
 
Sai Sudarshan and Tilak Verma are the revelations of IPL (Gill had already made his mark in International Cricket). India needs left handers in their team, hope the management sees this...

Any bowling looks ordinary if the pitch has nothing to offer and the batsmen are top-class! IPL can also produce bowler friendly dead low score games as well (we have seen this in some editions as well). Hyderabad were masters in producing such pitches to favor their bowlers... Chennai was also slightly bowler (spin) friendly. But this edition things have changed completely.... IPL fans want to see hard-hitting, batting-friendly pitches and the bowlers will definitely look like clowns (including Dayle Steyn)

I take your argument about batting friendly pitches. Same happened at PSL where good bowlers went for plenty.

I still don't think this bowling attack should be at an IPL final.

Not convinced on Dale Steyn on T20s anyway :), except at his very peak. But Umar Gul, Starc, Malinga would be a class apart most days even on these pitches - and box office in a final.

This season it was mostly batting centric. So many 200 totals thanks to impact player rule. GT has the best bowling attack. Last season as well. That is why they win.
 
22:13 Local Time, 16:43 GMT, 22:13 IST: The covers are coming off
 
Rain has stopped in Ahmedabad and the covers are off.

Pitch inspection to take place at 10:45 PM IST.
 
23:00 Local Time, 17:30 GMT, 23:00 IST: Next inspection at 11:30 PM. Still 45 minutes before start losing overs. Plenty of animated chats in the middle and most of it appears to be about that soaked practice pitch. Well, at least, it looks much better than what it was 20 minutes back for sure.
 
BCCI arranged full naach gaana and fireworks for finals but failed to arrange proper cover for rains. LOL :))

Gujarat got robbed due to rain. Now the target is narrower and ball is coming better onto bat due to rain.

Shame :(
 
Noor Ahmed ripping it up. How did teams let Gujarat get him alongside Rashid Khan? He has been terrific
