After 73 matches across 58 days, we are down to the final showdown of IPL 2023.
While the Gujarat Titans will leave no stone unturned in defending their title, the Chennai Super Kings will also give it their all in their quest for a record-equalling 5th IPL trophy.
The Yellow Army will also be motivated to lift the title this year as it might be the last season we see MS Dhoni play for CSK.
It now hardly matters how the tournament went by for these two sides as it's about who holds its nerve better on Sunday, will take home the IPL silverware.
However, GT will take heart from the fact that they are playing in their own backyard and Shubman Gill is coming off a fiery hundred at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Though MS Dhoni's CSK beat Gujarat in Qualifier 1 to enter the final, it was Hardik Pandya's men who came out on tom in Ahmedabad against Chennai in IPL 2023 opener.
