The closing ceremony at the Narendra Modi Stadium was supposed to start at 6 pm IST, but that was delayed and eventually it started raining around 6.30 pm.

It started as a drizzle, but eventually the rain got heavier and as a result, the covers were brought on.

The forecast does not look pleasing for the rest of the evening, with a couple of thunderstorms predicted, according to Accuweather.

GT are aiming to secure their second consecutive IPL trophy in as many seasons. In their debut season in 2022, they beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the final in Ahmedabad to win their maiden title.

This is CSK’s 10^th appearance in an IPL final, that is itself a record. CSK are aiming to win their fifth title, and should they do it, they would go level with Mumbai Indians (MI) for most IPL titles.
