The IPL 2023 Final showdown between defending champions Gujarat Titans and the Chennai Super Kings was put on hold due to relentless rainfall at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 28 May. Despite repeated efforts, the match could not proceed as planned and was subsequently rescheduled for the reserve day, which is now set for 29 May.
Cricket enthusiasts eagerly await the exciting clash, which is set to unfold at the Narendra Modi Stadium on 29 May, commencing at 7:30 pm IST. The Gujarat Titans are determined to retain the IPL trophy, while the Chennai Super Kings aim to secure their fifth IPL championship title.
During the initial qualifier match at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the Gujarat Titans succumbed to defeat against the formidable Chennai Super Kings. However, the Gujarat-based franchise bounced back and secured their spot in the final after a commanding victory over the Mumbai Indians, winning by a margin of 62 runs on Friday.
Both teams heavily rely on their top-order batting prowess. Shubman Gill has been exceptional throughout this year's IPL, emerging as the highest run-scorer and becoming only the second Indian batsman to surpass the 800-run milestone in a single season.
On the other hand, Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad have been the driving forces behind the Chennai Super Kings' batting lineup. Devon Conway has displayed remarkable form, accumulating 625 runs in 14 innings this season, maintaining an impressive strike rate of 137 and an average of 52. Ruturaj Gaikwad, with his consistent performances, has scored 564 runs with an average of 43 and a striking strike rate of 146.
As the rain delay comes to an end, fans can expect a thrilling battle between these two formidable teams, where the Gujarat Titans seek to defend their title and the Chennai Super Kings strive for IPL glory once again.
