The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 final game entered the Reserve Day after play was postponed on Sunday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad owing to continuous rain. Many people came wanting to witness MS Dhoni win the IPL trophy with the Chennai Super Kings for the fifth time in his career, but they had to go home disappointed.
Meanwhile, a group of talented artists called the Telugu Experiments Team came up with the largest thread art for MS Dhoni before the commencement of the big final. A video of the art has gone viral which shows the art being towed up for display by a JCB. The video has naturally created quite a buzz online.

Here are the likely scenarios with rain playing spoilsport in IPL 2023 Final
"Let me end the confusion. There is a reserve day tomorrow. Unlike last year, a reserve day is not guaranteed only when a match starts, and the result isn’t determined on the day. This year, if the final cannot be completed or doesn’t take place at all on Sunday (May 28), we will have the contest on Monday," a source commented as rain interrupted play on Sunday.
Considering the Super Over, the rule also applies to the Reserve Day. At the latest 1.20 AM IST, the outfield and pitch must be prepared for a Super Over. If the Reserve Day is also cancelled due to bad weather, the trophy will be awarded to the team that finished higher on the points standings after 70 league games. This game between Gujarat Titans and CSK, who finished first and second respectively in the league phase, will be won by Gujarat Titans.
It should be noted that rain also delayed the second qualifier of the year on Friday by a short period of time. However, spectators at the Narendra Modi Stadium were able to watch the entire game as Hardik Pandya's team defeated the five-time champion Mumbai Indians by a score of 62 runs to advance to their second consecutive final.
