Here is the full list of award winners for 2023 season of the Indian Premier League
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) equalled Mumbai Indians’ (MI) record of five Indian Premier League (IPL) titles after Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s side triumphed in a last-ball thriller, beating defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) by five wickets in the rain-marred final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
The summit clash was initially supposed to take place on Sunday. However, it had to be postponed to the Reserved Day as heavy rain played spoilsport on the scheduled date.
There was no dearth of drama when the game commenced on Monday at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium. Riding on Sai Sudharshan’s fantastic 47-ball 96, the reigning champions posted a mammoth 214 for 4 in 20 overs. But as the CSK openers walked out to begin the chase, the rain was back. The showers were short-lived but it dampened the practice pitches adjacent to the centre wicket.
The play resumed at 12:10 am after a long delay due to a wet outfield, the revised target for CSK was to chase 171 runs in 15 overs. CSK completed the task in the last ball at a packed Narendra Modi Stadium in what could turn out to be the final outing for veteran batter Ambati Rayudu in the T20 league.
After the game ended, the presentation ceremony saw Shubman Gill taking away a huge sum of Rs 40 lakh as he bagged four valuable awards. The runners-up, Gujarat Titans received a prize money of INR 12.5 crore while Champions CSK got a hefty sum of RS 20 crore.
