In a thrilling rain-affected summit showdown that stretched over three days, Chennai Super Kings beat Gujarat Titans by five wickets with Ravindra Jadeja smashing a six and a four off the last two balls to chase down a revised target of 171 in 15 overs here on Monday.

GT skipper Hardik Pandya, who has maintained that he is a fan of legendary cricketer and CSK captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, paid rich tributes to his mentor, saying "destiny had this written for him" to lead Chennai Super Kings to a record-equalling fifth IPL title in what could be his last season in the lucrative league.
