If GT vs CSK IPL 2023 Final gets washed out on Reserve Day as well, Gujarat Titans, table-toppers in IPL league stage, will be adjudged winners of IPL 2023. This happens if after rain stoppage, a five-over game is not possible by the cut-off time of 12:26 AM local time and Super Over is also not possible by the cut-off time of 12:56 AM.
