Just two days after delaying the toss in Qualifier 2, heavy rain made its way back to the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and this time forced the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) final between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Gujarat Titans (GT) to get postponed to a reserve day.
The heavens opened up in the build-up to the highly-anticipated showdown between the two teams that had met in the tournament opener on 31 March at the same venue.
Not only would it force the closing ceremony to get postponed, it would also ensure the two captains, CSK’s MS Dhoni and GT’s Hardik Pandya, would not get to step out for the toss at all as rain played hide-and-seek all evening and gained intensity shortly after 9.35 pm IST — the official cut-off time for a full 20-over contest between the two sides.
Thanks to the provision of a reserve day, the two sides can battle it out in a full contest provided the fickle Ahmedabad weather doesn’t play spoilsport for a second day in a row.
