NEW DELHI: Heavy rain disrupted the toss for the highly anticipated Indian Premier League (IPL) final between the Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings on Sunday. The downpour began just half an hour before the scheduled toss, prompting the ground staff to swiftly cover the playing surface and the bowlers' run-up areas with protective sheets.
Despite the initial efforts to shield the pitch, the rainfall intensified, accompanied by thunder and lightning. As a result, the passionate fans who had packed the stands were compelled to seek shelter from the inclement weather.
