IPL final moves to reserve day for the first time in the tournament’s history

This is the first time that an IPL final has moved to reserve day in the history of the T20 league. The postponement of the game came as a shocker for many fans who were in the stadium to attend the summit clash on Sunday. This came even as the cut-off time was extended till 12:26 am for a five-over game, with Super Over also in the cards, if possible.

The downpour, coupled with thunderstorms and lightning, forced a large number of fans to seek shelter and withdraw from the stands.

Several fans were forced to sleep on railway platforms due to the unwanted development.

Meanwhile, Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya has urged fans to come out in large numbers at the world’s largest cricket stadium on Monday. He tweeted:

“Unfortunately, the match could not take place today but look forward to a full house tomorrow. See you then!”

GT will now look to win consecutive IPL titles. CSK, on the other hand, will look to win their fifth trophy and give a fitting farewell to Ambati Rayudu, who announced his retirement from the T20 league on Sunday. He will hang up his boots after the final showdown.
