CSK vs GT, IPL 2023 Final Live Updates: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 final between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans was shifted to the reserve day on Monday after rain played spoilsport in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Focus will once again be on the weather as both teams look to have a got at each other.
They have descended in Ahmedabad from all parts of the country -- from Chennai, Bengaluru, Kochi down south, from Delhi, Chandigarh up north, from neighbouring Mumbai to get a glimpse of their beloved 'Thala' (elder brother) one last time in that yellow jersey. But on Sunday evening, whatever the travelling CSK fans proposed, the 'Weather Gods' disposed as it was incessantly hosing down throughout the evening throwing the itinerary of travelling fans into complete disarray.
Former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris believes that Shubman Gill's release from Kolkata Knight Riders will go down as the biggest blunder in the history of franchise cricket. Gill, who is the leading run scorer in IPL 2023, has scored 851 runs in Gujarat Titans' road to the final this year. Gill, who bought by KKR ahead of IPL 2018, spent four seasons with the two-time champions. KKR released him ahead of the IPL 2022 mega auction. GT, however, were quick to pounce on him as they drafted Gill ahead of the auction.
The Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans final couldn't be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, with the rain mayhem pushing the match into the Reserve Day. Thousands of fans, who had arrived at the venue to watch their teams in action, had to return home without watching a single delivery being bowled. Later in the night, some videos and pictures emerged on social media platforms where several CSK fans could be spotted sleeping on the floor at a nearby railway station.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms in Ahmedabad on Sunday forced the Indian Premier League final between holders Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings into a reserve day for the first time in the competition's history. Fans had arrived at the venue in big numbers, looking to watch the legendary MS Dhoni in action, potentially for the last time. But, rain played spoilsport, with not a single delivery being possible. As chatter on the washed-out fixture flooded social media, a fan blamed actress Shraddha Kapoor for the rain at the venue.
Mumbai Indians star batter Tilak Varma made his IPL debut in 2022. In the first season, he scored 397 runs across 14 matches at an average of 36.09 and a strike rate of 131.02. In IPL 2023, Varma improved his performance by scoring 343 runs across 11 matches at an average of 42.88 and an impressive strike rate of 164.11. The batter gave a scare to Gujarat Titans during Mumbai Indians' mammoth chase of 234 runs in the Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Friday. The southpaw scored 43 runs off 13 balls before Rashid Khan dismissed him to keep GT in the driving seat.
The 16th edition of the Indian Premier League couldn't crown a winner on Sunday, with excessive rain preventing a single ball from being bowled in the Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans decider at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The match was pushed to Reserve Day (Monday), with the authorities and fans hoping that a full 40-over contest will be possible. After rain prevented a single ball from being bowled on Sunday, fans have their sights set on the weather forecast on Monday at Motera, Gujarat.
The final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 headed into the Reserve Day after play could not be possible on Sunday due to persistent rain at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Fans turned up in numbers hoping to see MS Dhoni lift the IPL trophy for the 5th time in his career with the Chennai Super Kings but had to return home disappointed. Though Dhoni's men are scheduled to take on Gujarat Titans on Monday, the prospect of Dhoni playing on a 'Reserve Day' brought back some horrible memories.
