However, CSK beat GT by 15 runs and secured their birth for the grand finale of IPL 2023. This was the 10th time that the Dhoni-led franchise will play the final.

But the Chrpauk crowed was not satisfied as their idol MS Dhoni was unable to fire runs from his bat as the CSK skipper got out after making one run on two balls.
