IPL 2023: Celebrities Pour in Congratulations as CSK Clinches 5th IPL Title

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 final was a nail-biting affair, with Chennai Super Kings defeating last year’s champions, Gujarat Titans, to claim their fifth title. CSK won by 5 wickets, with Ravindra Jadeja scoring 10 runs off the final two balls. Mohit Sharma was defending 13 runs in the final over, smashed four Yorkers in a row, and only gave up three runs. Mohit bowled a full-length ball that went for a six and then a full toss on the final ball that went for a four, missing his length by inches on the next two balls. Many notable personalities applauded for CSK. Here are a few of the responses.

Popular Bollywood actors like Ranveer Singh and Riteish Deshmukh congratulated the ‘Men in Yellow’ on Twitter. The actor who plays Kapil Dev tweeted his congratulations to Ravindra Jadeja.
