New Delhi: The stage is set for the ultimate clash for the trophy. IPL 2023 began with the clash between defending champions Gujarat Titans and 4-time winner Chennai Super Kings, and is set to end with the same. While Hardik Pandya’s GT won the first game of the season, CSK outplayed them in Qualifier 1 and now they are up against each other once again. Shubman Gill’s third ton this season and Shami-Rashid leading the bowling attack favours GT while MS Dhoni has the opening pair of Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway with Tushar Deshpande and Matheesha Pathirana to pick wickets. #WATCH | Toss delayed in Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans match due to rain in Ahmedabad; outside visuals from Narendra Modi stadium#IPLFinal pic.twitter.com/iy3s9Uvkil — ANI (@ANI) May 28, 2023 However, the weather has played the spoilsport as it is raining heavily in Ahmedabad and the toss has been delayed.
