The much-awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) final of 2023, which was scheduled to be held on Sunday (May 28), will now be held on the reserve day on Monday (May 29) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

Incessant rains at the venue on Sunday ensured no play was possible between the four-time league winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT).
