The eagerly awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) final has been postponed by one day due to an abrupt change in the weather at Motera. Fans have been reassured by the Indian Cricket Board that their tickets from Sunday’s game will still be good for the match’s rescheduled conclusion on Monday. But devoted cricket fans are now having to deal with the effects of this unanticipated weather change.

On Sunday, excited spectators came to the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in anticipation of the highly anticipated match between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The latter’s followers, in particular, had flocked there in great numbers in anticipation of seeing MS Dhoni, a legendary cricketer, play his final game. Sadly, the rain gods ruined not only the plans of these devoted travelling fans but also the rhythm of the opposing teams.

What happens if IPL 2023 reserve day is washed out by rain?

While some travelling CSK fans failed to make travel or lodging arrangements, others made flight reservations for Monday AM and inadvertently became victims of the sudden schedule change. A few supporters even turned to camping outside the stadium in an effort to ensure that they wouldn’t miss the chance to see their favourite cricket players in action and fulfil their dream of being present for the grand finale.

If there is no final, the Gujarat Titans (GT) will be declared the winners because they finished first on the table with a higher ranking than the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The Gujarat Titans won the group stage with 20 points after 14 games, finishing ahead of the Chennai Super Kings with 17 points.

According to forecasts, Ahmedabad might expect afternoon thunderstorms as well as gloomy weather for the rest of the day. With a 40% chance of precipitation, there is a 24% chance of thunderstorms during the day. Fans can anticipate a hot and muggy day with highs of 39 degrees Celsius and 45% humidity on IPL 2023 Final reserve day.

Here’s how fans reacted to the viral photos of CSK fans:
