Yes, M S Dhoni did it, Ravindra Jadeja did it for him.

Captain cool got the fifth title. Late last night M S Dhoni showcased more emotions than ever before, perhaps.

Dhonihugged former Chennai opener Matthew Hayden, who was on broadcast duties.

Dhoni also shared a warm embrace with Hardik Pandya, who suffered his first defeat in the final.

Ravindra Jadeja's wife Rivaba was also emotional as the all-rounder put behind the captaincy failure in 2022 to hit the winning runs for CSK in IPL 2023. Dhoni shared a heartwarming moment with the family of Jadeja at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

CSk were chasing a revised total of 171 in 15 overs after rain interrupted their chase as early as the first over on Reserve Day of IPL 2023 Final. Gujarat TItans posted a record total of 214 for 4 in 20 overs but CSK held the nerves when it mattered the most to clinch the record-equalling 5th title.

MS Dhoni kept his eyes closed in the dugout, not being able to watch the last 3 balls of the thrilling finale. CSK needed 13 runs with Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja in the middle and Mohit Sharma, who picked up 27 wickets on his IPL return with Gujarat Titans, delivered yorkers with perfection to bring the equation down to 10 from 2 balls.

While it looked improbable for CSK, Ravindra Jadeja had other ideas as he hit a six in the 5th delivery of the over before hitting the winning runs with a boundary.
