A fifty partnership by Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad and cameos from Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja helped Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeat Gujarat Titans (GT) in a final ball thriller by five wickets at Ahmedabad on Tuesday to clinch their fifth Indian Premier League (IPL) title.
Dube played an effective knock of unbeaten 32 off 21 balls. In the match, he listed himself of being the third player with the most six in a particular win. He has struck 35 maximums in this year's IPL.
