When Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 championship game, they changed the course of history. With Chennai winning their fifth IPL championship, the success of the team might be attributed to the famous captain MS Dhoni.
A photo of the Chennai captain carrying the “Bhagavad Gita” in his hand is making the rounds on various social media sites. He was a key contributor to Chennai’s sixth IPL title in the 16th iteration of the lucrative league. The captain of Chennai is anticipated to have knee surgery soon.
Dhoni was taking care of a left knee issue throughout the IPL 2023. He had no issues behind the wickets despite the injury, but the 41-year-old was clearly upset while hitting. He was forced to bat very far down the order because of the knee ailment, and he also had trouble running between the wickets.
Kasi Viswanathan, CEO of Chennai, recently disclosed that Dhoni would be seeking medical advice for his knee, and if surgery is necessary, it would be up to the captain to decide whether to proceed.

Speaking about the IPL 2023 championship game, Gujarat Titans won the toss and choose to bat first. With the bat, Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha, and Sai Sudharshan all gave outstanding outings. Saha hit a stunning half-century, scoring 54 runs in 39 balls, while Sudharshan grabbed centre stage, scoring 96 runs in 47 deliveries. Gill scored 39 runs in 20 balls.
Gujarat put up a huge 215 runs after the first inning for Chennai to chase. In the second innings, when it was time to bat, rain once again caused havoc, and the MS Dhoni-led team was given a revised DLS target of 171 runs to chase down in 15 overs.
Chennai met its goal of chasing a large target. Chennai, who put on an outstanding performance with the bat, chased down the target, and won the match by five wickets, becoming the IPL winner for the fifth time in history.
