CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final: Three Records if Chennai Super Kings win the Indian Premier League this season

CSK finished the season second with 17 points. They won Qualifier 1 against GT earlier this week at the MA Chidambaram Stadium to book the final berth.

As the coveted franchise are on the threshold of another monumental record, here we take a look at three records which will occur if the Chennai-based franchise wins the IPL this year.

CSK reach an IPL Final for the 10th time

This is Chennai Super Kings’ 10th IPL Final appearance. Previously, out of nine appearances, the MS Dhoni-led team has won the trophy four times. This is also the first time a team has reached the final in double-digit numbers.

CSK will join MI with 5 titles

If Chennai Super Kings win the final on Sunday, they will join the Mumbai Indians with 5 IPL titles. CSK thus far have 4 IPL titles, while MI have 5 IPL titles.

CSK IPL Winning Years – 2010, 2011, 2018, 2021

MI IPL Winning Years – 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020

It will also equal MS Dhoni as the most successful captain along with MI captain Rohit Sharma. If CSK win the final, both will have 5 IPL wins as captains in their kitty, Rohit albeit has won one more during his Deccan Chargers days.

MS Dhoni to become the oldest captain to win IPL

CSK’s captain supremo MS Dhoni has been a stalwart for them. If they win on Sunday against the Gujarat Titans, Dhoni will become the oldest captain in history to lead his team to an IPL win at the age of 41 years.

It will also be a massive moment for the Indian stalwart amid his retirement speculations.

Ruturaj Gaikwad can create history for CSK

If Ruturaj Gaikwad scores 36 or more runs in the final and CSK win the trophy, the CSK opener will be the only player to have scored 600+ runs in two different title-winning seasons for an IPL team.

The Chennai batter scored 635 runs in IPL 2021, and is currently on 564 runs for them this season.
