IPL 2023 Finale: Who will win tonight’s grand finale?
After rains spoilt last night’s grand IPL 2023 finale in Ahmedabad, the match was postponed to Monday, i.e., tonight. The finals could not even get to its toss last night, and the possibility of the game being played with a reduced number of overs was also lost as it kept on raining. But tonight, cricket fans will get the fireworks that were promised to them as Chennai Super Kings take on the defending champions Gujarat Titans on their home turf.
Gujarat will naturally have the advantage in IPL 2023 finale, not just because they are defending their title on their home ground but also because they have proved themselves to be the most consistently strong team this season. Shubhman Gill scored his third century this season in their last match against Mumbai Indians, declaring himself as India’s batting future. If he manages to repeat this performance, Gujarat Titans will have already crossed the halfway mark to their IPL win. But even if he fails, their batting lineup is filled with stars like David Miller, skipper Hardik Pandya, and Rahul Tewatia. The deadly combo of Rashid Khan and Mohammad Shami will spearhead their bowling attack, as they remain the top two wicket-takers this season. Interestingly, the number three is another Titans bowler – Mohit Sharma. This shows the outstanding depth of their bowling.
However, no one can ever underestimate any side led by MS Dhoni, especially four-time champions Chennai Super Kings in tonight’s IPL 2023 finale. Their openers, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway, have been exceptional this year and always came through when their team needed them. They also have the in-form Shivam Dube and the experienced Ambati Rayadu in their middle order, with Jadeja and skipper MS Dhoni always present to finish things off. On the bowling end, they have the promising Tushar Deshpande, Deepak Chahar, and Mathisha Pathirana to trouble Gujarat’s batsmen. Chennai Super Kings thus have equal chances of lifting the trophy in tonight’s spectacular IPL 2023 finale.
