In the IPL 2023 final game against Gujarat Titans, Chennai Super Kings chose to field but were easily defeated by the opening pair of Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha.
Gujarat amassed 62 runs for no loss in the powerplays. The highest powerplay total for any IPL final in tournament history, by making the most of the field restrictions.
On-air commentators Ian Bishop and Ravi Shastri were astounded by the mistake and expressed it bluntly in their response.
However, if Deepak Chahar had not made a proper catch of Gill at backward square in the second over, the situation might have been very different.
The missed opportunity gave the Orange Cap batter the green light to erupt as Gill was then batting at third base.
The incident happened during Tushar Deshpande’s fourth delivery of the second over. Full-length delivery flew straight to the fielder, who was unable to catch the ball.

In the CSK vs. GT IPL final game, Deepak Chahar misses Shubman Gill’s catch

“The fielder was positioned perfectly by MS Dhoni, right into his belly. Don’t miss a player like this; he or she ought to be in the buckets, Shastri said.
“Deepak Chahar will recall dropping Shubman Gill while he was on 1. He will remember this, Deepak Chahar”. Tim David was the one who released Gill when he was on 13 during the MI vs. GT game.
As he forced them to pay. Chahar is probably hoping to exact some sort of revenge. Otherwise, CSK might have a long night, warned Ian Bishop.
Chahar’s costly mistake was finally atoned for by MS Dhoni. Dhoni immediately after the powerplay executed brilliant glovework to eliminate CSK’s biggest threat.
As Dhoni quickly whipped the bails, Ravindra Jadeja was able to divert the ball away from Gill, giving CSK their first wicket. 39(20) This included seven fours, marking the end of Gill’s innings.
