In an unexpected turn of events, the highly anticipated Indian Premier League (IPL) final has been postponed by a day due to an abrupt change in weather conditions at Motera. The Indian Cricket Board has assured fans that their tickets for Sunday's match will remain valid for Monday's rescheduled finale. However, loyal cricket enthusiasts have found themselves facing the repercussions of this unforeseen weather shift.

Eager fans had flocked to the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium on Sunday, eagerly awaiting the blockbuster showdown between the Gujarat Titans and the Chennai Super Kings. The latter's supporters, in particular, had turned out in large numbers, hoping to witness the swansong of the legendary cricketer, MS Dhoni. Sadly, the rain gods not only disrupted the rhythm of the competing teams but also shattered the plans of these ardent traveling fans.

While some fans had neglected to arrange accommodation for their stay, others had made flight bookings for early Monday, unknowingly falling victim to the abrupt schedule change. Determined not to miss out on the opportunity to watch their favorite cricketers in action, a handful of fans even resorted to camping outside the stadium, clinging to the hope of witnessing the grand finale firsthand.

Have a look at the plight of fans here:

That's very sad to see. They all came to experience the IPL finals with full vibrancy but rain gods had other plans. Hope they do get to see a full game tonight.

I think the @BCCI should be responsible enough to take care of their fans as they are the ones who are responsible for @BCCI 's so much money.
