IPL 2023 Final: memes on rain postponing CSK vs GT match flood social media

With the final of the 2023 Indian Premier League tournament being postponed to May 29, 2023 due to heavy rain, a flurry of memes flooded social media.

With the weather forecast not being too promising for the final on May 28, it only kept getting worse for the fans who had turned up to pack the house.

It began raining in the evening half an hour before the toss time – around 6:30 pm local time – and did not stop for longer durations at least for the next two-and-a-half hours. The rain, however, did stop after 9:00 pm local time and the covers were taken off, with two super sopper already in action from around 8:30 pm IST.

However, heavy spell of rain returned to force the ground staff to cover the field again and players off the pitch, who had started warming up. There were some serious puddles on the covers and exposed parts of the outfield, which would have taken the groundstaff more than a hour to clear, provided the rain had stopped.
