Owing to the rain, this IPL season’s final game stretched for three days and played a spoilsport. Yet, when the moment arrived, the fans could not get enough of the exciting shots played by the members of both teams – Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. It was CSK that emerged as the winners, with MS Dhoni’s popularity again taking an upswing, while Hardik Pandya’s team crumbled in a 15-over restricted match. Chasing the 171-run mark, CSK leaped winning the IPL trophy on the very last ball.
