Chennai reached four no loss after three balls by Gujarat pace spearhead Mohammed Shami when rain forced the players off the ground on a reserve day after a heavy downpour washed out play on Sunday.
The final is believed to be Chennai skipper MS Dhoni’s last match as thousands of fans have returned to the world’s biggest cricket stadium wearing the yellow jersey of the superstar.
Gujarat batsman Sai Sudharsan smashed 96 to power his team to 214-4 – the highest total in an IPL final – after being invited to bat first.
