Ahead of the summit clash, former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly heaped praise on Dhoni for masterminding CSK's comeback in the ongoing season.
"Chennai Super Kings and MS Dhoni have been fantastic. They have shown how to win big matches. Dhoni has been remarkable in his captaincy. He has shown how to win big matches," Ganguly said while speaking to India Today.
CSK will face the winner of Qualifier 2 between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2023 final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Sunday (May 28).
