Four-time champions Chennai Super Kings will take on Gujarat Titans in the final of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. Both teams have played outstandingly in the tournement; so, we expect a cracking contest at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. 

Ahead of the high-voltage face-off, CSK head coach Stephen Fleming has backed his side to swat aside the Titans in the all-important fixture. 

At the pre-match press conference, Fleming reckoned that it would be tough for GT to defend their IPL title, something which only MI and CSK have done in the past. 

Speaking further, the former New Zealand captain lauded GT and their assistant coach Ashish Nehra for a clinical outing in their second consecutive IPL season. 


Here's what Fleming stated

"So hard! It is impossible, it is going to be so hard for them (GT) to do it (laughs). No, they are a good side; you got to say ‘really well done’ to what they have put together in a short space of time. I like the coaching staff a lot, they are really balanced guys."

"Ashish (Nehra), for all his talking, has got a really good grasp of the game, his enthusiasm is really high. We have a huge amount of respect for what they have done but it is very hard to go back-to-back."

CSK and GT have clashed thrice in the IPL 2023, with the latter having the upper hand over the former by a 2-1 margin. Considering the strengths of both teams, we expect a nail-biting encounter in Ahmedabad tonight.
