After continuous heavy rainfall, the IPL 2023 final match between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was called off. However, since this game is the final of the tournament, it wasn’t possible to just call it off without a result. Hence a reserve day has been scheduled, postponing the game on May 29.
A Reserve day in cricket is used when a knockout match doesn't take place (or) cannot be completed on the scheduled date. The contest gets shifted to another day (mostly the next day) to obtain a result for this knock-out game. One of the few times a reserve day was used was for the 2019 50-over World Cup in England when India took on New Zealand. The match started on July 9 and then was continued on a reserve day after a rain interference.
