The IPL 2023 final between Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Gujarat Titans will be played on May 29, the Reserve Day after heavy rain in Ahmedabad washed out play on Sunday.
The rain briefly stopped at about 16:30 on Sunday, with the covers taken off and the players coming out to warm up, but it returned within 15 minutes.
Chennai are looking to equal Mumbai’s record tally of five IPL titles.
Gujarat are aiming to retain the title they won in their inaugural season in 2022.
If no play is possible on Monday, Gujarat will win the title after topping the league table with 20 points – three more than Chennai in second.
Chennai beat Gujarat in Qualifier 1 to become the first side to qualify for the final, with Gujarat then seeing off Mumbai Indians to earn the second final spot.
