He can be seen looking down at the celebrations on the ground floor and showcasing his happiness through his dance moves.

Although he ended up on the winning side, Chahar didn’t have it all smooth sailing during the much-important final. Early into the game, he failed to complete a simple catch of IPL 2023 Orange Cap holder Shubman Gill, who went on to score 39 runs for the defending champions. While CSK eventually managed to get rid of Gill, the mistake could have proved to be the winning difference as Gill entered the summit clash on the back of three centuries in his last four games.

After the game concluded, an amusing incident unfolded as MS Dhoni denied Deepak Chahar an autograph. Chahar approached Dhoni with a request, but the Chennai Super Kings skipper humorously declined. In response, Chahar sought the intervention of Rajeev Shukla, who happened to be nearby, to persuade Dhoni for the autograph. Eventually, Dhoni obliged and signed Chahar's jersey. The star pacer recovered from injury to participate in IPL 2023, having missed the entire 2022 season. He missed a few games this season but finished with 13 wickets to his name.
