The covered pitch after the start of Qualifier 2 was delayed due to rain at Ahmedabad yesterday
Unseasonal rain cast doubts over Qualifier 2 involving defending champions Gujarat Titans and five-time champions Mumbai Indians at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Friday evening. The game started 30 minutes late but dark clouds over the stadium threatened the possibility of another interruption. Then, there was a rain forecast for the next two to three hours.
But over 80,000 fans in the stadium only saw a heavy shower of sixes from the bat of centurion Shubman Gill, who was more than just brilliant for Gujarat Titans. Earlier, fans ran for cover at the 1,32,000-capacity stadium when rain started and the groundstaff rushed with covers before drizzle turned into a heavy downpour.
