The final match of the Indian Premier League 2023 is being played between the four-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday, May 29, which is the reserved day as the match was washed out on May 28 due to heavy rain in Ahmedabad.

Meanwhile, ahead of the contest, the star Indian rapper King performed and made the crowd shake their legs. King sang some of his most popular songs and also made the crowd sing with him. However, there might be another short performance from another star Indian rapper Divine in the mid-innings break.

However, as King was performing, CSK captain MS Dhoni entered the ground. The crowd immediately went wild and began screaming "Dhoni-Dhoni" as soon as they recognised their favourite cricketer there. Everyone at the event was watching the artist perform and turned around to look back at the former India captain. The atmosphere and excitement throughout the stadium were electric.

Quite happy it will be a 20-over game we'll be playing: MS Dhoni

Talking about the match, legendary CSK skipper Dhoni won the toss and opted to bowl first. Dhoni revealed the reason behind taking bowling first as he believed that the rain could take place during the contest. The former legendary Indian captain also talked about how the crowd was troubled by the rain on Sunday and ensured entertaining the fans on Monday.

β€œWe'll bowl first with the rain forecast being around. Yesterday we were in the dressing room. As a cricketer, you always want to play. It was the crowd that suffered the most. Hopefully, we can entertain them. The pitch has been undercover for a long time, but throughout the tournament, the pitch has behaved well over here. Quite happy it will be a 20-over game we'll be playing. Serves justice to the tournament like this,” he said.Β
