We all know who the two finalists are! So, on the upcoming Sunday evening at 7:30 PM IST, we have a blockbuster in Ahmedabad. It is again Master vs Apprentice! It's Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans. Can GT win it back-to-back and defend their title, or will it be Thala MS Dhoni winning for the fifth time? Only time will tell.
Heartbreak for Rohit Sharma and Mumbai Indians and now Hitman can focus on the next assignment which is the biggest of all. World Test Championship final at the Oval in the early part of June.
So a wrap from our side. It is me AkshayaKrishna Polya signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Arijit Kundu and Hitesh Peddurwar, who alongside our scorer/analyst Paras Yadav brought you all the live-action of this sizzling contest. We will meet in the next match. Until then, it's a goodbye!

Shubman Gill: "Ahh... Not really form it is about playing ball-to-ball and over-to-over. There was an over where I hit three sixes and that was the moment I thought I am playing at my best and having a good day. It was a good batting wicket and hence needed to go on with the flow. Not really, needed to have self-belief and I am in my groove now. Not a conscious decision, you need to keep inventing as a batter, especially in this format. Once you have a good international season, you need to keep it going. I also had a good season last year as well. You need to start well and once you do it you feel confident.
From the last West Indies tour, I have tried to be aggressive shifting the gears. I got injured before that IPL in 2021 and was out of action for a couple of months. But still, I kept on working on my game. I really worked hard in a few areas and got myself better technically. All these happened before the New Zealand series after T20 World Cup. Expectations are something that is out of control and flows outside the boundaries. But once one gets onto the field, it is about playing on the ground and making valid contributions to the team.
Yeah, it is the best of me. Ahh... Yeah, I will say that this is the best I have played in an IPL innings. Not exactly! Haha... I wasn't setting my hair after the hundred, it was clearing the sweat from my forehead. I will try my best (on asking to keep the same form going in the WTC final)."

Player of the Match: Shubman Gill
Hardik Pandya (Gujarat Titans Captain): "I mean, yeah, but a lot of hard work has gone behind it. The guys kept working hard and they keep working on their skills, it went well.
I think the clarity he [Shubman Gill] carried, he is in a great place when it comes to the mindset. This has to be one of the best knocks I have seen in a while. He never looked in rush, he was always in control and it felt like the balls were thrown at him and he was striking them. I mean whoof!! He is a superstar and is going to be a big name in the upcoming days.
My job is simple here, and I make sure that the boys are in the right frame of mind here. Every individual takes up responsibility. When things are not going well for us, he is the one who comes in and takes one or two wickets. I have told it several times, he is someone who does things like magic.
I mean we will give our best. Irrelevant of the result, if we put our hundred percent and give our best, things are going to be fun. I mean knockouts are a fun game. It can go here and can go there, I mean, it is going to be fun with the boys."
