The final of the ongoing IPL will take place at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 28 May 2023 between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT). After defeating GT in qualifier one, CSK qualified for the final. While GT defeated Mumbai Indians (MI) in qualifier two to get a place in the final.
Before the final, there is only one day off on 27 May as both teams will prepare for the mega clash. But, now reports have come out that practice sessions of both teams will be live on Star Sports on 27 May from 8 p.m. Seeing such reports, fans came up with some epic replies on social media.
“If we play our best cricket we should do well in the final.” - Hardik Pandya
After CSK’s win in qualifier one, MS Dhoni said: "It is no longer eight teams. Ten teams makes it all the more tougher. Hard work of two months. Lot of character showed by our players. Everyone has contributed. Yes, middle order hasn't got ample opportunity but they have chipped in. (You wanted to bowl first too today?) It was simple. GT are good chasers so we wanted to get them in. But it was a good toss to lose. The way it turned for 30 minutes.... and when Jaddu gets conditions like that, he is hard to hit. No forget the partnership between him and Moeen too.”
“(Young fast bowlers...2008 onwards there is always an uncapped fast bowler) We try to create an enviroment. We reiterate what the fast bowler's strength is. We try to help them improve. And we try to help them explore their bowling. The support staff - Bravo, Eric - are also there, but when they are standing they are alone,” he further added. While after defeating MI, GT skipper Hardik Pandya said: “My job is to keep the boys in a good space. Everyone has taken responsibility which has been fantastic. Rashid has been amazing, especially when we've not been in a commanding position. Irrespective of the result, if we play our best cricket we should do well in the final.”
Here is how fans have reacted to the reports:
