Chennai Super Kings have won their fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) title beating Gujarat Titans in the final of the IPL 2023 season at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Captain MS Dhoni, who has been more than just a legend for the franchise has added another tally to his long list of accolades while the win came through the hands of Ravindra Jadeja, one of his most trusted deputies in the CSK team since 2012. With 10 needed of 2 balls and Jadeja on strike, the game seemed to be slipping away, but Jadeja struck a six and a four in the two balls taking CSK to victory. But just a few days ago things didn't seem ok between Jadeja and CSK, rather Dhoni. Some events in the buildup to the playoffs of the IPL indicated at Jadeja and Dhoni having a rift between them and all is not well in the relationship between the two legends. Although some events in the follow up of the IPL final indicated that everything has settled between the two and there is no reason to anticipate any fall out. IPL 2023: CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan Consoles Ravindra Jadeja Amidst All-Rounder's Alleged Rift with Franchise.
