After rain pushed the final of the IPL 2023 to reserve day, CSK fans slept at the railway station
The IPL 2023 finals between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans could not be held at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday because of heavy rainfall, which pushed the match into the reserve day. Thousands of fans who had arrived at the venue to watch their teams in action had to go back home without watching a single delivery being bowled. Later in the night, some videos and pictures went viral on the social media platform, and many CSK fans were spotted sleeping on the floor at a nearby railway station.
Although the Board of Control for Cricket in India allowed the fans to use the same tickets on the reserve day, a number of fans decided to stay in Motera rather than go back home as they had to come back for the final on the very next day.
Multiple fans wearing the jersey of the Chennai Super Kings were spotted at the railway station, probably looking forward to getting a glimpse of the 'Thala' MS Dhoni before he decides to hang his boots.

IPL tweeted on Sunday, "The #Final of the #TATAIPL 2023 has been moved to the reserve day on May 29th at 7:30 PM IST at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Physical tickets for today will be valid tomorrow. We request that you keep the tickets safe and intact."
