IPL Final Live Score, CSK vs GT

The final match could not even start on Sunday, the actual day for the event, as mentioned in the schedule. The rain which started to pour down after 06:00 pm in the evening became drizzle for a few minutes and then turned into showers and continued this design till 11:00 pm in the evening. As a result, the match has now been moved to the reserve day i.e. Monday and it will begin from the toss onwards. Another extra two hours have been added as the extra time before overs start to get reduced even on the reserve day. The match will however begin from 08:00 pm IST onwards. 

After 70 league games, three playoffs, 1105 sixes, 2143 fours, 36 two hundred plus totals, 12 hundred and 139 fifties later, finally, the Indian Premier League season has reached its ultimate game where the Chennai Super Kings take on the Gujarat Titans in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium. If CSK wins, it would be their fifth title and fifth under MS Dhoni’s captaincy as well. If Gujarat Titans win, they would become the first team to win back to back titles after debut.

Chennai Super Kings playing combination

Chennai Super Kings have kept on playing with the same 12 players for quite a long time in this league. Even though Ajinkya Rahane has not been able to perform with the same vigour that he did in the initial few games, he would likely remain a part of the playing 11. Ben Stokes has been fit, but his place in the playing has yet not been made. 

Looking at how the Gujarat pitch is no use for spinners in the same way as Chepaukl had been, Stokes could be given a chance in place of Moeen Ali who had hardly been asked to bowl anyways.
