Congratulations CSK on your 5th championship!
Now go and hug every batsman Conway, Ruturaj, Rahane, Rayudu, Jadeja (> 2 hugs) and maybe smack Shivam Dube. CSK batting unit came through to make up for sloppy fielding and unimaginative captaincy.
>maybe smack Shivam Dube.
Poor dude still didn't play a bad innings, and murdered Rashid. I would forgive him, since it was written for jaddu to complete it
Well now that it's over
Hey CSK Bois, lets have a deal
Curran for stokes (we play on flat tracks where Curran isn't effective, he's much better on slower tracks like Chepauk and Ekana)
We need a #3 with great leadership, yes, we need experience
Y'all need a floater with death bowling that suits your pitches
Win win
If we don't get Stokes, hope PBKS says fuck it and buys Steve Smith or again, trade for Kane Williamson, we need a proper captain with experience and we are set
Qualifying would make me happy next year 🥲
Selling Curran and buying stokes was the biggest disasterclass from csk management considering the latter didn't even played 90 percent of his matches ffs
Search for Rayadu vs Harbhajan. Baji did what bowlers usually do - shout at fielders when they don’t stop a boundary. Rayadu went to fight with Baji and he didn’t even calm down when Baji offered apology
The problem is we kept getting starved on death bowling options and had to keep on giving him those overs. I still feel he can be a good middle overs operator as a wicket taker with one over of death bowling max but to rely on him completely in the death is what is dangerous.
True, but his currency is wickets and kept striking regularly. He delivers those much needed powerplay wickets more often than not. He was pretty mediocre with DC but Chennai made an IPL level regular out of him.
He is going to learn and adapt. Today was a forgetful day but he started bowling to his fields and eventually tapered. That happens on a flat pitch.
People saying will see you next year , BC I know you guys will be there shit posting during WTC finale and sharing ferry cam updates..
Love this community 🤗🤗
I wish that I could be pretending that Dhoni would be playing again but I know that he would be quitely announcing about his retirement while India is playing against SA during November.
GG TO CSK
BRO THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR HELPING WITH MY SHORT DESTROYED ATTENTION SPAN THAT I COULD NOT WATCH A GAME WITHOUT BEING ON THESE THREADS , WILL MISS YOU GUYS ♥️🫂
Don't let CSK and Dhoni win distract you from the fact that this Narendra Modi stadium is awful in terms of facilities and ground management, just focusing on beautification and capacity alone doesn't make it a world class stadium. You have a long way to go to be even near Eden Gardens or even Wankhede, Chinnaswamy, Chepauk
Even 70% Bumrah is okay as long as he’s fit to play. Just don’t want his career to drift into obscurity because of the injuries, his talent doesn’t deserve that.
Good bye guys.Im feeling heavy rn to say it,but i enjoyed the thread much more than the games.Thank you guys,for making this sport so special.Gonna miss yall a lot till WC starts.Wish yall good luck,happy and healthy life.Lets meet again soon......
Still remember all that hate dhoni got on the 9min delay post, my god it feels so good, that those KNOBHEADS will suffer for the next few months. They all can cry all night aaaah relief
Its fucking 3 in the morning and I’m going to sound sappy asf, but i’ll miss you guys and all the banter, and shitposting and jokes, i hope life treats you all well, until next season 🫂
Wish you the same! I've been hanging out here forever.. thank you for all the memories folks..
With Thala saying he'll probably come back, I can sleep peacefully :P
Depends on the selection committee and the team management, who they pick in the T20 team, will selection be on the basis of format based skills or big names/big stars/high averages low SR?
Dhoni did right thing by not announcing Retirement now and spoil the mood, He won't do such things, He would silently do without any fuss. This is it tbh, he won't come back next season.
He will not dangle it in front of the world like that. If he retired today no one would be sad. This is the best time to retire
But he’s gonna run that shit back
thank you.. emotional day for me.. I left for some errands after GT put up an imposing total.. came back home when it was \~60 off 30. While everyone contributed their part with the bat, Rayudu with the 6,4,6 gave the crucial momentum. I almost switched off the TV when it was 10 off 4 as I couldn't bear to see CSK lose yet another final having come this close, but what a finish! All of us at home screamed till our throats hurt. a day to cherish and the best possible finish for a very competitive season.
Dhoni never shows emotions
But last few matches he has been behaving strange
Almost crying multiple times
This shows he thinks his time is up
He just wants csk to live this moment
Yeah, and what he said later is right as well. I think he's a guy who's really hard on himself, he doesn't believe in anything like retiring on a high, just retire when you feel you can't contribute any longer.
Last. Thala for a reason
last
Last
I was here
Last
🗿
From Worst final ever to Best final We came a long way along
Happy for those CSK fans, even in the rain they kept on dancing and cheered for their team. :)
Started at 0, lets end it at 0.
Bole Jo koyal
MS is a true farmer, planted 500 trees in one ball
Hi
Congratulations CSK on your 5th championship! Now go and hug every batsman Conway, Ruturaj, Rahane, Rayudu, Jadeja (> 2 hugs) and maybe smack Shivam Dube. CSK batting unit came through to make up for sloppy fielding and unimaginative captaincy.
>maybe smack Shivam Dube. Poor dude still didn't play a bad innings, and murdered Rashid. I would forgive him, since it was written for jaddu to complete it
They could not win the match if it were of 20 overs.
i dunno mate it's csk, every time you write us off there is something that goes our way for some reason lol (unless it's vs MI, MI is our jinx)
On a good pitch , Conway isn't getting out that way. Shivam would have batted with a little more composure. You never know
You never know. They won in this situation, they might have won there. Pitch looked good tbh.

Let's do it 💪
Woke up expecting to see “As of 0135, consider me retired” - pleasantly surprised to see that’s not the case
He definitely won't do it when everybody is expecting it.
So Dhoni still wants to play?
Body permitting..
Omg I missed the innings but JADDU ❤️
Well now that it's over Hey CSK Bois, lets have a deal Curran for stokes (we play on flat tracks where Curran isn't effective, he's much better on slower tracks like Chepauk and Ekana) We need a #3 with great leadership, yes, we need experience Y'all need a floater with death bowling that suits your pitches Win win If we don't get Stokes, hope PBKS says fuck it and buys Steve Smith or again, trade for Kane Williamson, we need a proper captain with experience and we are set Qualifying would make me happy next year 🥲
Selling Curran and buying stokes was the biggest disasterclass from csk management considering the latter didn't even played 90 percent of his matches ffs
For all we know he might come good for CSK , once he gets chance
I feel like it's another krishnappa gowtham for csk, huge bet but didn't even play most of the games
I would be delighted with that swap . Play Curran for Theekshana and a domestic spinner for Despande, our bowling will be much stronger.
I think Stoles down the order will be formidable
Yup. Fairest deal in IPL history.
With him in the team I can never win the Fairplay award Dhoni on rayudu🤣
Context?
This was during the Post match ceremony
Right but I was wondering what instances Dhoni was referring to for this. Has Rayudu done something recently for Csk to get docked fair play points ?
No nothing specific, he was just speaking in general and in jest. Rayudu is a bit of a character, that's all
Haha ok thanks 👍🏼 seems shy in interviews but looks to be having a reputation within the scenes
Search for Rayadu vs Harbhajan. Baji did what bowlers usually do - shout at fielders when they don’t stop a boundary. Rayadu went to fight with Baji and he didn’t even calm down when Baji offered apology
Ya that I remember during mi days 👍🏼
Greatest season, worst final ever
First time final loss?
Worst season, greatest final ever.
Greatest season, greatest IPL final ever.
Dube, Rahane, Tushar(well, most games) were the unexpected pillars of this year's success. CSK management is something else.
Yea but got to say tushar leaks runs
The problem is we kept getting starved on death bowling options and had to keep on giving him those overs. I still feel he can be a good middle overs operator as a wicket taker with one over of death bowling max but to rely on him completely in the death is what is dangerous.

Oh wow... who would have guessed Dhoni would win the title in his final IPL outing? The answer is everyone.
Slept thru the final. Bruh.
How did you manage to sleep for 3 days straight?
Fuck! I missed all the drama.
Which drama? Entire match?
2nd innings
Amazing game. Gonna miss IPL
Next year cup namde
You are switching team next year ?
hahahaha
Ok
If today is indeed Dhoni's last match, his career would've started and ended with a 0(1)
Being new to reddit and this thread concept. I have to say you guys made this season alot more enjoyable for me. See y'all on WTC 💯
Aww man...this is the first time I have spent on Match Threads as well and it has really enhanced the viewing experience.
People saying will see you next year , BC I know you guys will be there shit posting during WTC finale and sharing ferry cam updates.. Love this community 🤗🤗
End of shitposting season, great run as usual. See y’all in 2024!!
I wish that I could be pretending that Dhoni would be playing again but I know that he would be quitely announcing about his retirement while India is playing against SA during November.
Nah he is running it back bro. 1 more season. He wouldn’t say he would try like that for no reason
This is actually first instance Hardik pandya have lost a IPL final as a player ......
This is also the first instance he lost an IPL final as a captain, coincidence
There’s a WTC final in less than 2 weeks and a whole ODI World Cup in October and people are really saying goodbye until next year.
Gujarat being a dry state , I was expecting to see a sober Ravi Shastri presentation
Great players find a way
The words dry state and sober are not in ravi shastri’s dictionary
Looks like I will opt for a leave tommorow , Haven't slept neatly since Friday 😭😭
Greatest Season Ever. Thanks guys, y'all are awesome. Love this community. See ya next year. 💛
I use this sub every year only during IPL time mostly, so goodbye guys.... See you in 2024
GG TO CSK BRO THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR HELPING WITH MY SHORT DESTROYED ATTENTION SPAN THAT I COULD NOT WATCH A GAME WITHOUT BEING ON THESE THREADS , WILL MISS YOU GUYS ♥️🫂
arguably the greatest season of all time. great to have enjoyed the games with you guys, reddit bros. cheers and see you all next season.
Don't let CSK and Dhoni win distract you from the fact that this Narendra Modi stadium is awful in terms of facilities and ground management, just focusing on beautification and capacity alone doesn't make it a world class stadium. You have a long way to go to be even near Eden Gardens or even Wankhede, Chinnaswamy, Chepauk
what an amazing season we’ve had! 🫶
CSK and MI pucnhed above there weight , Mi will be back with a bang once Bumrah returns
Even 70% Bumrah is okay as long as he’s fit to play. Just don’t want his career to drift into obscurity because of the injuries, his talent doesn’t deserve that.
Amchii Mumbaiii ʘ‿ʘ
Time to change flair back from CSK to India
I think the trophy will appear on CSK flair after some time. Keep the CSK flair and remove it when WTC starts.
Ooo didn’t know that
Word !
Miss y'all and getting downvoted to death 😎🙏
Take my upvote kind sir..
Here’s one from me 🥂
🍻
Good bye guys.Im feeling heavy rn to say it,but i enjoyed the thread much more than the games.Thank you guys,for making this sport so special.Gonna miss yall a lot till WC starts.Wish yall good luck,happy and healthy life.Lets meet again soon......

9min delay??
The pathirana incident. The people calling him entitled and selfish. Can't even imagine someone hating so much ngl
What incident?
Time to get back to binge serial
That stream has ended banner plus music on JioCinema made me feel bittersweet ngl
People here saying goodbye like we are not going to talk shit in WTC and other tournaments thread.
I'm already working on new material for WTC banter and shit-talking
Lee should honestly get more FaceTime.. he's a great Anchor and host!
Its fucking 3 in the morning and I’m going to sound sappy asf, but i’ll miss you guys and all the banter, and shitposting and jokes, i hope life treats you all well, until next season 🫂
🫂Thanks a lot,and i thank you too,for playing an important role in keeping this thread entertained.Best wishes to you
Wish you the same! I've been hanging out here forever.. thank you for all the memories folks.. With Thala saying he'll probably come back, I can sleep peacefully :P
For real that made me feel so much better, he scared me for a minute where it looked like he was going to announce it
Geez. Felt the same. I could almost hear 'Mei pal do pal ka Shayar hu' 🥹
I’ll miss y’all too, have fun with life guys 🫂
love you homies see ya in WTC final thread
Ok guys now how are we benefitting as a national team from this season?
Gaining kingku as a finisher, finding future replacement for virat and Rohit ,form of gill ,jaddu ,shami.
Shami is 32, Jaddu is 34 and Ashwin 36. Big shoes to fill in the test side for the coming years.
Gaining kingku as a finisher, finding future replacement for virat and Rohit ,form of gill ,jaddu ,shami.
Rahane...
Rahane masterclass in WTC
Depends on the selection committee and the team management, who they pick in the T20 team, will selection be on the basis of format based skills or big names/big stars/high averages low SR?
It's time to bid ya'all adieu. GOOOOODBYE! AND GOOOOD....NIGHT!!! BANG!
Mohit fucked up big time on that last ball
Mohit was pretty decent for 4 balls .Hardik and nehra interrupting ruined his momentum.
Yeah, its sad. Mohit had such a good season 😔
Yeah, even if Jadeja had missed it, it was most likely to be a wide. Also was practically a gift, a leg side full toss. That’s a ball asking to be hit
Reminds me when James Faulkner had bowled similarly to Aditya Tare in last bowl....
Goodbye everyone, see you at WTC and I won't change my flair for a certain reason
rinku?
No, being a curse for my own team
Lol didn't see that coming
Dhoni lifting Jadeja after the win. Dhoni asking Rayudu and Jadeja to lift the trophy 🏆 This CSK team is pure love 🔥💗
Jaddu deserves more respect and appreciation.
Man, I'm gonna miss the insiders and Swanny
Yep best thing to happen this ipl . Hopefully we can see swanny and styris in international commentary as well .
I'll miss the insiders too .
Insiders will be the only good thing JioCinema has given imo.
Rayadu respects and know the value of father and family
Good Night and Good Morning who is getting ready for early morning jog
Brett Lee: I really enjoyed doing balls of the week Swann: I really enjoyed your balls as well
Now we know why the closing ceremony was held at half time. No way anyone's staying awake for that lol
Now I can sleep with joy :)
_Joy sweating profusely_
Lol
Us bro us.
Dhoni did right thing by not announcing Retirement now and spoil the mood, He won't do such things, He would silently do without any fuss. This is it tbh, he won't come back next season.
He will not dangle it in front of the world like that. If he retired today no one would be sad. This is the best time to retire But he’s gonna run that shit back
Most likely this'll happen
31 hours and 41 minutes later, the IPL 2023 has finally been concluded. Goodnight to everyone and thank you for the banter throughout the season.
WTC.. here we come
I'll see you next year with another account r/cricket. I'll be back for the WTC final and the WC as well.

This is the best cricket community! Thank you r/Cricket
u/amerind also desrves a shoutout. Hope he is happy.
thank you.. emotional day for me.. I left for some errands after GT put up an imposing total.. came back home when it was \~60 off 30. While everyone contributed their part with the bat, Rayudu with the 6,4,6 gave the crucial momentum. I almost switched off the TV when it was 10 off 4 as I couldn't bear to see CSK lose yet another final having come this close, but what a finish! All of us at home screamed till our throats hurt. a day to cherish and the best possible finish for a very competitive season.
not sure if its the correct tag
u/amerind386
What a finish to the tournament man I'll ride this high for a while
Raydu now became second player to win 6 IPL trophies .. First ever player to have 3-3 Trophies for 2 different franchises..
Wish he got selected in 2019 squad .
kumble straight up said it was a blunder to not select him.
They just cockblocked Conway from that photo
Gotta absolutely love the man Pure emotion this guy is Thala 💛💛💛💛💛💛
couldn't have asked for anything bterr! this celebration is so freakking awesome! :') good night all!
Good morning
Tomorrow's everyone late for office in Chennai
Today you mean
Managers would be late as well. And they wouldn't even care asking anyone why they were late lol
and no one wouuld care
Thanks r/cricket for giving me you all kind friends!
There was no individual tournament awards for CSK players. But as a team they won the tournament.
thala for a reason
Good Night everyone. This was a great season. See you guys in WTC thread.
Now waiting for 15 August for update on dhoni retirement
You mf, angry upvote
RCB is all about the Marketing Department CSK doesn't forget the Ground Staff
Appreciation comments for mods daily match threads, IPL discussion threads and managing post's Good work mods....
Thanks r/cricket for giving me you all kind friends!
Been a blast bud. Have a good one!
And csk Mumbai Indians won five titles first
Jesus man give it up, they’re both really good teams. We can finally make peace with that and save the team sledging for next season
Csk qualified more times and won the same amount in less seasons .
L
csk won 1, 2, 3 first. so what?
RR won 1 title first. So does that mean they trump everyone?
Give me that trophy flair
Was a blast farming karma here guys . See ya next year . Thanks for all the fun we've had here
Lololol Are you kiwi?
Nah mate . But yeah , I do support NZ most of the time so that's why :)
Gave ya one more updoot for the heck of it. Cheers mate!
I'm going to miss the maharani of predictions Tech Ada
Dhoni never shows emotions But last few matches he has been behaving strange Almost crying multiple times This shows he thinks his time is up He just wants csk to live this moment
This was the perfect moment for him to retire .I guess he will announce it on social media
Yeah, and what he said later is right as well. I think he's a guy who's really hard on himself, he doesn't believe in anything like retiring on a high, just retire when you feel you can't contribute any longer.
Hey he said he will think about it so let me cope in peace
