This is not a first in IPL, This has happened before, which events?

The Sunrisers Hyderabad-Gujarat Titans match was canceled due to rain. Even the toss was not possible due to continuous rain in Hyderabad on Thursday. After waiting until 10.10 p.m., the umpires decided to cancel the match. However, after getting 1 point, Pat Cummins made it to the playoffs of the IPL. It has rained continuously since this afternoon in Hyderabad. Sometimes mild, sometimes moderate. The rain stopped for some time. The toss was at 8 p.m., and the game was announced to start at 8.15 p.m.

But at 7.50, it started raining again. In the end, it was not possible to organize the match. As the match was abandoned, Hyderabad and Gujarat got one point each. Hyderabad entered the last four as the third team with 15 points in 13 matches. Because it is not possible for any team to get 15 or more points except Chennai alone. On the other hand, Shubman Gill’s side finished the IPL with 12 points from 14 matches.

After the match was officially declared cancelled, the captains of the two teams played ‘Stone Paper Caesar’ on the field. Shubman won it. He also expressed his happiness to end the IPL with a ‘win’. The rest of the cricketers from the two teams were busy congratulating each other. It should be noted that the last two matches for Gujarat in the IPL were completely washed away by rain.
