Key highlights from IPL 2023 Final:
-
Rain Drama: The game was cut short to 15 overs with a revised score of 171 runs.
-
Thrilling Finish: Ravindra Jadeja hit a six and a four off the last two balls as CSK won.

Top Performers: Devon Conway (47 off 25) and Shivam Dube (32* off 21) took the chase forward, while Mohit Sharma's 3/36 for Gujarat Titans was in vain.
