The final of the Indian Premier League 2023 was also special in other ways as well, as it was the first time in the history of T20 cricket that a T20 match was extended to three days. The rain had a lot of interference in the IPL 2023 final due to which it was shifted to the reserve day. However, during CSK's chase the rain yet again interrupted the match and they were set up a revised total of 171 in 15 overs as per the DLS method. 

At last, even the rain could not stop the Chennai Super Kings from lifting their fifth Indian Premier League title and at last, it was Ravindra Jadeja's historic finish that led them to a memorable win.
