What will happen on reserve day?
Now the question arises that what if it rains on the reserve day as well? According to the rules of the IPL final, there will be a time of 120 minutes in addition to the fixed time of 3 hours 20 minutes on the reserve day as well. That is, even on the reserve day, the wait will be done till 12.06 in the night, so that 5-5 overs can be played. If that is not possible then the decision will be taken from the super over. If that too could not happen, then Gujarat, which secured the first position in the points table, would be declared the winner.
