The Narendra Modi Stadium was set for an electrifying clash between Gujarat Titans (GT) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on May 13, marking GT’s last home match of the season. However, heavy rain dashed hopes of a thrilling game, leading to its abandonment and both teams settling for a point each.
Despite the disappointment, GT players, led by Shubman Gill, showed gratitude to their loyal fans by embarking on a lap of honor after the match’s cancellation. Braving the drizzle, players walked along the boundary rope, acknowledging the unwavering support they received throughout the season.
In a heartwarming gesture, fireworks lit up the stadium sky, accompanied by a message of “Thank you Ahmedabad” displayed on the big screen, encapsulating the team’s appreciation for their home city.
Gujarat Titans’ dreams of playoff contention were shattered with this washout, as they needed consecutive wins to stay in the race. Currently, with just five wins and one no result from 13 matches, the 2022 champions find themselves at the bottom of the points table, ending their campaign on a disappointing note.
