Gujarat Titans’ hopes of qualifying for the Indian Premier League (IPL) play-offs were dashed on Monday when rain washed out their must-win match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The torrential downpour prevented the toss from taking place at the scheduled time of 7 pm, and the drizzle persisted throughout the evening, forcing the officials to abandon the match at 10:56 pm. This result confirms KKR’s place in the Qualifier 1 with 19 points from 13 games, while Gujarat Titans, the 2022 champions, are eliminated from the play-off race with 11 points from 13 matches. The abandonment marks the first match to be washed out in this edition of the IPL.
