Chennai Super Kings (CSK) performed a special puja for the Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam after their victory against Gujarat Titans in the final. The team defeated Gujarat Titans by five wickets and their photos from the ceremony have gone viral. Twitter users were left impressed by Chennai Super Kings’ tradition. Chennai Super Kings have now won five IPL trophies, tying with Mumbai Indians for the most number of tournament wins. In the 2023 final, Gujarat Titans went to bat first after Chennai won the toss and decided to bowl. The team managed to put up an impressive total of 214/4, helped in part by Sai Sudharsan’s 94. A brief spell of rain delayed CSK’s innings and saw its target reduced to 171. A great opening performance by openers Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad got the ball rolling. Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu and Shivam Dube helped close the gap to the target before Ravindra Jadeja sent off a couple of boundaries to seal the win.
