  CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2023: Chennai wins

  The equation is now 12 off 4, with Jaddu on strike. The crowd is on the edge of their seats as Jadeja steps up to the crease. He can only eke out a single off the third ball, leaving 11 runs needed off just 3 balls.

  Mohit bowls another yorker, and Dube can only hit it away for another single. The tension is mounting, and the outcome of the match hangs in the balance. But then, in a moment of pure magic, Jadeja hits a six off the fifth ball! The crowd erupts in cheers as the equation is reduced to just 4 runs needed off the final ball.

  And then, in a stunning display of skill and determination, Jadeja hits a four off the last ball to seal the fifth title for CSK!

  Deshpande's bowling seems to be faltering as the wheels come off. His first ball goes full and wide, allowing Hardik to smash it over deep extra. Sudharsan, on the other hand, continues to dominate the game, moving into the eighties with a boundary off the fourth ball. Hardik finishes the over with a maximum, leaving the opposition team in a precarious position.

  CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2023: 

  Jaddu has entered the attack and Saha has been granted a second chance on the second ball. Gill has called for a swift run, but Saha has failed to make it back to the non-striker's end. However, Jaddu fumbled the ball and broke the bails without having it in hand. Nevertheless, Jaddu had a last laugh as he outsmarted Gill with a clever turn, and Dhoni promptly removed the bails with Gill's foot clearly outside the crease.

  GT 67/1 (7)

  Shubman Gill 39(20)

  Wriddhiman Saha 28(22)

  Deshpande continues and Gill greets him with his signature half-swat, half-pull shot, resulting in a four. Gill then seamlessly executes a pickup shot, adding another four to his score. To complete his hat-trick of fours, Gill confidently drives the ball to the long-off fence with a hint of disdain.

  Saha and Gill are set to open the batting, with Chahar taking the new ball. The field is set with a slip and short third in place for Saha. Chahar begins with an innocuous dot, showing a little bit of swing.

  CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2023: Chennai Super Kings opt to bowl

  Dhoni: We'll bowl first with the rain forecast being around. Yesterday we were in the dressing room. As a cricketer you always want to play. It was the crowd that suffered the most. Hopefully we can entertain them. Pitch has been under cover for a long time, but throughout the tournament the pitch has behaved well over here. Quite happy it will be a 20-over game we'll be playing. Serves justice to the tournament like this. Same team.

  Pandya: Would've bowled first as well, but my heart wanted to bat so I don't mind losing the toss. We spoke that it is something out of our control (weather). Whichever team plays better will have their hands on the trophy. I like keeping the boys cool, and they repay me. It's a flat track (what he makes of the pitch?).

  CSK vs GT Live Score, IPL 2023: What if the game gets washed out?

  In the event of inclement weather, the match may be shortened to a 5-over per contest or, if necessary, a Super Over may be conducted. However, if neither of these options are feasible, the team with the highest ranking on the league table will be declared the winner.
