CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K Stalin has congratulated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on their fifth IPL trophy
"Congratulations to the Chennai Super Kings yellow brigade on winning their fifth IPL championship under MS Dhoni, the man who always has a game plan! The fact that Jadeja maintained his composure in the face of difficulty helped CSK secure a historic victory, tweeted CM MK Stalin.
Chennai Super Kings, managed by MS Dhoni, added a sixth title victory to their impressive IPL resume by defeating Gujarat Titans by five wickets in a gripping summit matchup on Monday in Ahmedabad.
To witness MS Dhoni wins the IPL once more, the supporters packed the Narendra Modi Stadium to capacity for two days, didn't let bad weather dissuade them, and waited well past midnight on Monday for a shortened game to begin.
Since the start of the Indian Premier League this year, Dhoni has been the centre of attention, and in a fitting way, the captain concluded the tournament with a record-tying fifth championship. After being asked to bat first, B Sai Sudharsan blasted 96 in 47 balls as Gujarat Titans reached 214 for four.
The Chennai Super Kings' (CSK) MS Dhoni said after his team's five-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) championship game that, despite it being the ideal time for him to retire from the sport, he would play one more season for the fans in recognition of their love and support throughout India, even though it would be "hard to work hard for nine months and prepare for next season."
