NB In Pics | Dhoni-led CSK wins the fifth title of IPL; Here are the best moments!
A rock-solid partnership between Conway-Ruturaj had helped set the foundation for a successful run-chase, but a game-changing spell from Mohit Sharma threatened to take away the win from CSK. However, Dube and Jadeja kept calm to seal a memorable title win for the Men in Yellow.
The match resumed as a 15-over affair after rain interrupted action for a while. CSK was set a new target of 171 runs to win in 15 overs.
Here are the unforgettable moments from the match
This image will go down in cricket history for the emotions it gives us. After hitting those winning runs, he straight ran away to MS Dhoni who is in the dugout. This was emotional for all the cricket fans.

An underrated moment from the last night's match where Ambati Rayudu breaks down as it was his last match of IPL after announcing retirement on Sunday.

Rayudu announced retirement last year and CSK made him delete the tweet and signed for whopping 6.75cr deal despite knowing he is done.. and today, Rayudu single handedly won the match.

The calm he felt after Jadeja hit those much-needed four runs. I think this was the moment where he must have felt that this is it.

This is one funny moment! It seems like Deepak Chahar wanted an autograph from Dhoni but the latter was not giving him because of some catch he did not take. But of course, Chahar being the Laadla, CSK captain gave in.

Dhoni hints at his retirement!
MS Dhoni, "This is the best time to announce my retirement. But the amount of love I have received all over. The easy thing would be to walk away from here, but the harder thing would be working hard for 9 months and try to play another IPL." pic.twitter.com/JPvV2O41Z4

A special mention for Mohit Sharma who almost took the game away from CSK
He is Mohit Sharma, CSK & ICT bowler.

He used to play for CSK till 2019. But CSK didn’t pick him in 2020.
No team picked him up in 2021, he was devastated.
He joined GT as a net bowler despite being a WC squad member.
But in 2023, Nehra convinced GT management to pick him up.… pic.twitter.com/TENfdLVkDp
