Chennai Super Kings beat Gujarat Titans by 15 runs to reach a record-extending 10th IPL final after the IPL 2023 Qualifier 1 match at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday.

MS Dhoni’s men last reached the final in the 2021 season, where they lifted their fourth title after beating Kolkata Knight Riders in the final held in Dubai. CSK’s run into the summit clash this time comes after its second-poorest campaign in the IPL, having finished ninth out of 10 teams in the 2022 edition.

The win also marked the Super Kings’ win over the Titans in four meetings. The teams had clashed in the IPL 2023 opener in Ahmedabad on March 31 where the home side coasted to a five-wicket win.

CSK’s win marked its fifth win in Qualifier 1 matches since the inception of the Playoffs system in the 2011 season.

While it was won four titles, CSK has fallen on the wrong end of the result in IPL finals on five occasions - thrice against Mumbai Indians and one apiece against Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals.
