CSK secures another championship title! In a rain-shortened match reduced to 15 overs, CSK’s opening duo of Ruturaj and Devon Conway provided a solid start once again. Conway displayed his aggression early on, taking on Shami and Hardik during the powerplay. The introduction of Noor Ahmad brought breakthroughs for the opposing team, as he dismissed both openers in the same over. The scoring rate seemed to slow down, but then Ajinkya Rahane took the stage and struck two magnificent sixes off Josh Little. He followed it up with two boundaries against Rashid, while his partner Dube struggled with his timing. However, Dube found his rhythm in the final over by Rashid Khan, hitting two crucial sixes and bringing CSK back into the contest. Rayudu emerged as the next hero for CSK, successfully reading Mohit Sharma’s slower deliveries and dispatching them over the boundary ropes. After Rayudu’s dismissal, Dhoni departed on the first ball he faced. In the ultimate over, Mohit Sharma executed almost perfect yorkers. But it was Sir Jadeja who had the last laugh, sealing the victory for CSK with a six and a four, forever etching his name in CSK folklore.
