However, Chennai Super Kings CEO Kasi Viswanathan said to PTI that MS Dhoni will soon be consulting the knee orthopedic doctors for his injured knee. "Yes, it is true that Dhoni will take medical advice for his left knee injury and accordingly decide. If surgery is advised, it can only be ascertained after reports come out, it will be completely his call", Viswanathan told PTI.
Getting to the Chennai Super Kings fairytale Indian Premier League 2023 win against Gujarat Titans, the match played at the Narendra Modi Stadium was the longest in the T20 format as it was extended to three days due to rain. The match was never in CSK's favour as batting first GT had registered the highest total in an IPL final, and chasing when the rain interrupted the match again, Super Kings were set a revised total of 171 runs in 15 overs.
While the Chennai Super Kings openers Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway started off well, batsmen like Ajinkya Rahane and Ambati Rayudu also contributed with their cameo knocks. However, at one point CSK were in trouble as they lost two back-to-back wickets and they needed 21 runs off the last two overs. While Ravindra Jadeja finished off the match in one of the most memorable fashions and took his team to a fifth IPL trophy.
