The 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) final saw excitement all over the world as Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were set to take on each other in a blockbuster clash at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The game had added context as it was a battle between protagonist Hardik Pandya and mentor MS Dhoni.
However, the plans of the entire cricket fraternity have been spoiled due to rain in Ahmedabad. Just minutes before the start of play, the city was hit with heavy rainfall, and apart from a couple of brief intervals, the rain has not relented.
As the match heads for a reserve day, cricket fans were quick to notice a hilarious goof-up at the stadium. The big screen of Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium showed a graphic declaring the four-time champion Chennai Super Kings (CSK) as runners-up.

The match has already started to lose overs, as the latest a 20-over match could happen is 9:35 PM. A five-over match can start at the latest at 12:05 AM. If a five-over match is not possible, the game will go on the scheduled reserve day. The reserve day is on Monday (May 29) at the same venue. If no rain is possible on the reserve day too, then a super over will decide the winner. If that is also not possible, then Gujarat Titans (GT) will be declared winners due to the fact that they finished higher on the table in the league stage. GT finished first with 20 points, while CSK finished second with 17 points.
