Indian Premier League 2023

Tournament Overview

Series Overview

The 2023 Indian Premier League was the 16th edition of the tournament and produced a memorable final contested at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Chennai Super Kings, one of the most storied franchises in IPL history and captained by the legendary MS Dhoni, delivered a commanding tournament campaign. Gujarat Titans, playing in just their second IPL season after winning the inaugural edition in 2022, reached the final for the second consecutive year under Hardik Pandya's captaincy — before Pandya departed mid-auction for Mumbai Indians. Shubman Gill was the standout performer of the entire season, scoring over 800 runs with three centuries and consistent form throughout. In the final, Gujarat Titans posted a competitive total, but CSK's batting lineup anchored by Devon Conway and MS Dhoni proved equal to the chase. Dhoni, despite playing under fitness concerns, delivered at the death as he has done throughout his extraordinary career. CSK's fifth title equalled Mumbai Indians' record and cemented Dhoni's legacy as the greatest captain in the tournament's history.
