Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja feels the just-concluded season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be remembered for MS Dhoni. Earlier this week, Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans in the IPL 2023 final, which was played on the reserve day for the first time in the competition's rich history. While recalling some of the biggest moments of the season, Raja pointed at the incident involving Sunil Gavaskar and Dhoni. During CSK's last home game of the season, Gavaskar got his shirt signed from Dhoni.

"This IPL will be remembered for the color yellow, and for MS Dhoni. His humility, the Dhonimania, his captaincy, his calmness, and his keeping will be remembered for the ages. But most of all, this IPL will remembered for the moment when a legend like Sunil Gavaskar asked MS Dhoni to sign an autograph on his shirt. There cannot be a bigger complement for MS Dhoni. It will be remembered for young batting talent, the likes of Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad. These are stars who'll decorate these grounds for many years to come," Ramiz Raja said on his YouTube channel.

Speaking further on IPL 2023, Raja labelled the 16th edition of the tournament as the greatest season ever

"The season will also be remembered for the big names that were benched and players from small nations who made a big mark. For the fact that even if you have big names in the coaching staff in the dugout, there's no guarantee of success for the teams. This IPL will be remembered for the fans, for great shot making and for great catching. Jab bowlers wicket lete the toh wo ulte seedhe bhangde nahi daalta the, they rather took their game up in the pressure situations. The tournament will be remembered for Gujarat Titans' bowling and leg spin bowling. This IPL had a wow factor. There has never been a spectacle as big in IPL history," he added.

Rayudu reveals reason behind Dhoni's king-sized 'IPL Trophy' gesture

The Chennai Super Kings won a record-equalling fifth Indian Premier League title on Monday night, beating 2022 champions Gujarat Titans in a thrilling game in Ahmedabad. The side registered victory on the final ball of the match, with Ravindra Jadeja hitting a four when the team required as many to seal the title. The CSK required 10 runs off the last two deliveries of the game after Mohit Sharma, the Titans bowler, had only conceded three off the first four. Jadeja, however, smashed a six off the fifth ball before ending the game in style with a four towards fine leg.

The foundation of CSK's win was laid by Devon Conway (47) at the start, and then by Ambati Rayudu as he played a bright cameo in his last IPL innings. Rayudu stayed at the crease for only 8 deliveries but scored a valuable 19 runs for the side as he arrived to bat in the 11th over (the game was shortened to 15 overs due to rain). Rayudu smashed a four and two sixes in his knock before departing two overs later.

Following the win, CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had a heartwarming gesture for Jadeja and Rayudu, as he called upon both stars to receive the IPL trophy with him during the post-match presentation ceremony. Rayudu has finally revealed the reason behind Dhoni's gesture.

“Before the ceremony, he called me and Jaddu, saying he wants us to join him in lifting the trophy. He thinks it was the right moment to do it with both of us. It was really special on his part, I don't think that has ever happened. That's the person he is, and the person that the world knows. Overall, it is his gesture,” Rayudu told NDTV.

After the game, CSK's head coach Stephen Fleming also highlighted the importance of Rayudu's knock, and further added that the franchise will miss the veteran India batter.

"Ambati Rayudu has been an absolute legend. I rate him so highly as a batter and those three balls against Mohit Sharma today proved against one of the most in-form bowlers… to hit him for 6, 4 and 6 was sheer class.

"Rayudu will leave a hole, there is no doubt about it, but the game keeps moving. Doesn’t it? We expected that for him to go out like that was pretty emotional within the group and for him as well," Fleming had said.
