As rain played spoiled the IPL 2023 final, the fans of both Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings who came out in huge numbers had to head back to their place disappointed, without being able to catch the live action. With a reserve day already being planned and kept in case of such happening, the tournament will get a designated winner. However, it will be a new day and maybe the crowd will deteriorate as the date of the final was communicated in advance and now upon not being able to witness anything instead of covers on the ground, many would return to their prior commitments. Gujarat Titans captain Hardik Pandya and CSK bowler Deepak Chahar acknowledged the support of the fans who had to wait and wait but did not get a positive outcome. 

Chennai Super Kings enjoy the biggest fanbase because of MS Dhoni and as the speculations regarding Thala's final IPL season are making rounds, CSK fans are gathering in huge numbers wherever their favorite team is playing. For the all-important IPL final between CSK vs GT, fans came in huge numbers again but the rain gods had other plans as it poured heavily in Ahmedabad. After a lot of wait, the final was moved to reserve day but that didn't shatter the hopes of CSK fans as they were spotted sleeping at Ahmedabad railway station waiting for the sun to rise again and go to the stadium to witness the epic finale.
