The IPL 2023 final which was to be played on Sunday, May 28 between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad had to be postponed to the reserve day on Monday, May 29 due to heavy rains lashing the city.

On the same day that the IPL 2023 final was postponed due to rain, cricket fans took to social media to complain about a roof leak at the Narendra Modi Stadium. On Twitter on Sunday, a fan tweeted images of people ducking water flowing through holes in the stadium roof.

"People who are asking for closed-roof stadiums have a look at the pillars and roofs of the biggest stadium and the richest cricket board leaking," the Twitter user captioned the post.

The viral video has garnered the attention of netizens on social media.

The refurbished Motera Stadium was renamed the Narendra Modi Stadium in 2021. Closed for renovation in 2015, the world's largest cricket stadium can now accommodate 1.32 lakh spectators. Interestingly, the world’s largest cricket arena is also the second-largest sports stadium in the world.

What an amazing experience I had today and this stadium wants to host the Wc final,” another user added.

However, not all fans experienced the same thing and probably it was an isolated incident, as some fans found shelter in dry places.
