CSK’s pursuit of the target was anchored by Ruturaj Gaikwad, who remained unbeaten on 42. The victory marked a special occasion for MS Dhoni, who played his final home game of the IPL 2023 season. The match also witnessed a rare occurrence when Ravindra Jadeja became the third batter in IPL history to be dismissed for obstructing the field, joining Yusuf Pathan in 2013 and Amit Mishra in 2019.
