IPL 2023 Final, Ahmedabad Weather live updates: CSK vs GT IPL ...

Gujarat seamer Mohammed Shami is the leading wicket-taker in this edition of the IPL with 28 wickets

Virat Kohli holds the record of most runs in an IPL season with 973 in 2016

On Monday, Gill could become only the second batter in the history of the IPL to reach 900 runs in a season

Gujarat lost its qualifier to Chennai where Gill made 42, but the 23-year-old’s whirlwind century off 49 balls crushed Mumbai in the knockout game on Friday

Gujarat fans had hoped to watch Shubman Gill, who has scored 851 runs from 16 games that includes three centuries in the last four matches

But a second downpour washed out the day, leaving thousands of fans, who had taken shelter in the covered areas of the stadium, disappointed

Rain began 35 minutes before the toss on Sunday and went on for over two hours and 40 minutes before it stopped and raised hopes for the game to begin

From Sunday to Monday

Weather Forecast

If it happens the same way on the reserve day, the team that finished on top in the league stage, i.e., defending champions Gujarat Titans, will be declared the winners

But none of those playing conditions could be used as the rain played spoilsport

The cut-off time for a full 20-over-a-side game was 9:40 pm, while a curtailed five-overs-a-side game had to start by 12:26 am. According to the rules, if both of the above are not possible, a 'Super Over' starting at the cut-off time of 12:56 am can decide the winner

The Ahmedabad weather forecast for the evening of May 29, the reserve day for the IPL 2023 final between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans, is much more promising than the downpour that the Narendra Modi Stadium witnessed on Sunday, when the wet conditions didn't allow even the toss to happen

IPL 2023 Final between CSK and GT has been moved to the reserve day on 29th May - 7:30 PM IST at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.

There are no such predictions of rain here on Monday, which means that there is full possibility of a 20-20 over match.

With the weather forecast not being too promising for the final on Sunday, it only kept getting worse for the fans who had turned up to pack the house.

The title clash between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, thus, will be played here at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday.

The announcement was made at 10:55 pm local time.

The final of the Indian Premier League 2023 was on Sunday moved to the reserved day after relentless rains delayed the toss and subsequently the start of the summit showdown.

CSK vs GT Final Live Score: "IPL final has been moved to the reserve day at 7:30 PM, 29th May", reads the big screen.

It should be around 60 minutes for the groundsmen to get the ground ready for having a game.
