CSK vs GT IPL 2023 Final: Rain stops, match delayed due to wet outfield

 

The rain subsided and the ground staff is working hard as Chennai Super Kings chase down the target of 215 set by Gujarat Titans.

Sai Sudarshan scored 96 runs in just 47 balls to take Gujarat Titans to a score of 214/4. The 23-year-old Chennai player hit eight fours and six sixes in his innings and made the most of the death overs. However, after the third ball of the first over of CSK's innings, heavy rain forced the stadium to halt.

Well, the umpires came back at 10:32 for inspection and before they could get to the pitches properly, Pandya pounced on them. Very lively conversation with him and finally the umpire says something to him, he gives a double thumbs up which is also animated, and walks away. He is then seen talking with Javagal Srinath, who almost seems to pacify him.

The covers have come off completely after the rain delay. However, due to a wet outfield, the match got further delayed and the next inspection time is at 11:30.
