Fireworks are going off in the sky as this marks the end of Titans home leg, and the players are taking a lap around the ground to thank the crowd. Despite the rain, plenty of fans have stuck around in the hope of getting a game, but that's not happening. A disappointing season overall for Gujarat Titans. After winning the title in their maiden season, and finishing runner-ups in the second, they've just not clicked this time around. KKR, meanwhile, have booked their place in the first Qualifier. That's all from us here. Until tomorrow, it's goodbye.
- KKR confirmed the place in Qualifier 1 and GT has been eliminated from the playoffs race.
- The last two times when KKR finished in the top two in the points table, they won the IPL trophy (2012 & 2014).
10.36pm local: So everything that went on in the last 10 minutes has amounted to nothing. Match has been called off. Gujarat Titans are officially out of the tournament, while a top-two finish is confirmed for KKR. The two captains exchange ribbons as part of Titans' breast cancer awareness initiative, and follow it up with handshakes.
10.30pm local: Pitch cover has also come off, and Nehra and Gill are having a look.
10.22pm local: Wow the covers are being taken off quite frantically by the groundstaff.
10.20pm local: Plenty of discussions happening in the middle. No official word yet.
10.10pm local: Gill and Nehra are walking out to have a chat with the officials.
9.55pm local: It's still raining
21:31 Local Time, 16:01 GMT, 21:31 IST: Nothing positive to report on I'm afraid. Pictures from the ground show that the rain has intensified once more.
21:15 Local Time, 15:45 GMT, 21:15 IST: "Drizzle has become stronger. Chances of a game look bleak" reports Vijay Tagore who's at the venue.
Swayambrat Mohapatra: To be honest, that 1 run lose for RCB will still hurt them if they couldn't qualify for playoffs!!
Arwa Danish: KKR, RR, SRH & LSG - KKR vs RR: RR will go to finals, SRH vs LSG: LSG will win eliminator, LSG vs KKR: LSG makes it through finals, RR: winners of IPL 2024
Rajesh C: My prediction for top 4 teams are:- KKR, RR, SRH, RCB
Joy Sharma: With the playoffs race at its peak now, 7 teams can make it mathematically.
With KKR already confirmed, RR are the second favorites alongside SRH. CSK or RCB will be my favorites for the 4th spot!
Gujarat Titans
Kolkata Knight Riders
