The Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) has finally reached D-day with the season finale scheduled for Sunday, May 28, at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are determined to secure their fifth title, bringing them on par with the Mumbai Indians (MI). Simultaneously, the Gujarat Titans have their sights set on making history by becoming the first team to win back-to-back titles in their first two seasons of participation. Last season, they achieved a remarkable feat by clinching the championship in their debut year.

However, the high-octane encounter had to face an untimely delay due to incessant rainfall, causing visible frustration among the passionate fans in the Narendra Modi Stadium. Adding to the fuss at the stadium, a video capturing a woman pushing a policeman in the stands has gone viral online, sparking a flurry of reactions from fans.
