IPL Final: Dhoni wins or Hardik in the final, both have a chance to match Rohit Sharma's record

The final match of the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be played on Sunday (May 28) between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans. Two charismatic captains Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Hardik Pandya will be face to face in the match. Dhoni has made Chennai the champion four times. At the same time, Hardik had made Gujarat Titans the winner in his very first season last year.

In the final match, Dhoni and Hardik will have a chance to achieve a special feat. Both will have a chance to match Rohit Sharma, the most successful captain of the IPL. Not only Dhoni and Hardik but Ambati Rayudu can also reach Rohit's level.

Let's know what all three players will achieve...
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: Dhoni, the captain of Chennai Super Kings, has made his team champion four times so far. If he wins the title for the fifth time, he will equal Rohit Sharma's IPL title as captain. Rohit made Mumbai champions in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020 under his captaincy. At the same time, under the captaincy of Dhoni, the Chennai team won in 2010, 2011, 2018, and 2021.

Hardik Pandya: Captain of Gujarat Titans, Hardik has won five IPL titles so far. Staying with Mumbai Indians, he got the chance to lift the trophy in 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2020. Apart from this, he made Gujarat the champion in 2022. Rohit Sharma has won six IPL trophies as a player. Apart from making Mumbai a five-time champion, he also won the IPL in 2009 for the Deccan Chargers team. If the Gujarat team wins today, then Hardik will equal Rohit Sharma in terms of winning the most IPL as a player.

Ambati Rayudu: Like Hardik, Chennai Super Kings Ambati Rayudu has also got the chance to lift the IPL trophy five times. He was a member of the Mumbai Indians team that won the title in 2013, 2015, and 2017. Apart from this, when Chennai Super Kings became the winner in 2018 and 2021, he was with Dhoni. In such a situation, if Chennai is successful in defeating Gujarat, then Rayudu will reach equal to Rohit Sharma in terms of winning the most trophies as a player.
