IPL 2023 winners.

GT star Shubman Gill bagged multiple awards after MS Dhoni's CSK defeated Hardik Pandya and Co. in the IPL 2023 final.

Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) stunning win in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 final drew curtains on the 16th edition of domestic cricket's biggest extravaganza on Tuesday. Ravindra Jadeja's late flourish propelled MS Dhoni and Co. to their record-extending fifth IPL crown at the famous Narendra Modi Stadium. Record-time winners CSK defeated defending champions Hardik Pandya's Gujarat Titans in the final-ball thriller to lift the famous trophy on the reserve day at Ahmedabad.

Chasing down the revised target of 171 in 15 overs, Jadeja smashed a six and a four on the last two balls of the thrilling contest to help CSK upstage GT in the summit clash at Ahmedabad. With the win, CSK have equalled Mumbai Indians' (MI) record for winning the most titles in the history of the IPL. CSK's Devon Conway was named the Player of the Match for his blistering knock of 47 off 25 balls in the IPL 2023 final.
