On Monday, Gujarat Titans posted 214/4, the highest-ever score in an IPL final. However, rain interrupted proceedings when CSK were 4/0 in 0.3 overs. When play resumed after a long delay, CSK had a revised target of 171 in 15 overs. They won it in the last over with five wickets in hand.

Post the match, Dhoni confirmed that it’s not curtains on his playing career yet. He said that he will give himself 6-7 months and then decide on his future as CSK captain. This, he said, was a small return gift from his side to the fans for the love and appreciation he has received at every venue he has played this year.
