Has the IPL final ever been washed out before?
The coronation of the IPL champions 2023 should take place on Sunday. However, heavy rains in Ahmedabad forced the game to be postponed to May 29, the reserve day.
The Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will now come back on Monday and try to start the battle for the ultimate IPL prize.

But if the circumstances are not sufficient for even a 5-over match at the end of Monday, the winner of the IPL 2023 would be determined by a super over.
Should the Super Over not be bowled under any circumstances, the trophy would be awarded to the Gujarat Titans – the league leaders at the end of the group stage of the IPL season.
Has an IPL final been washed out in the past?
A washout has never affected an IPL final in the past. Unfortunately, 2023 is the first time that the final has been postponed by a day due to bankruptcy.
