The final of IPL 2026 will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans on May 31 (Sunday) at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Before the match, ‘Toofan’ has created a lot of trouble for Gujarat captained by Shubman Gill. The team could not reach Ahmedabad on time.
In a report by ESPNcricinfo, it was told that due to stormy weather, Gujarat has been delayed in reaching Ahmedabad.
Let us tell you that Gujarat played the second qualifier match against Rajasthan Royals last Friday (May 29) at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh. Gujarat, which won the match, was to leave for Ahmedabad by charter flight on Saturday afternoon.
However, due to heavy rains in north-western India, especially Punjab and Rajasthan, airport authorities could not issue permission to fly into Chandigarh, delaying many flights from the city. It was told in the report that the Gujarat team can reach Ahmedabad around 10 pm on Saturday. At present there is no information regarding the arrival of the team.
Less than 24 hours left for the final
Now less than 24 hours are left for the final match to start. This delay can become a big problem for Punjab. The team will get less than 24 hours to prepare for the final. Now it will be interesting to see how GT solves this problem.
The final could be interesting
The final match can be very interesting. The first qualifier of the season was played between Bengaluru and Gujarat in Dharamshala. By winning the match, RCB had made it to the finals. Whereas the losing Gujarat had reached Qualifier-2. Here Gujarat defeated Rajasthan and entered the finals. In this way, the teams facing each other in Qualifier-1 will also face each other in the final. Now it will be interesting to see which team wins in the title match.
