That's it. I, Sidharth, on behalf of my co-commentators Akshay, Deepak, Akshaya, Ajay, and Ninaad, and analysts Manish-Raju, say goodbye! See you tomorrow with the live coverage of the all-important encounter between DC and LSG. A defeat for the Rishabh Pant-led team will confirm their departure. A win will make the points table more interesting. Cheers!
Gujarat Titans players are taking a lap to thank their fans. Fireworks are going off. Even with so much downpour, lots of fans stayed back hoping for some action.
Gujarat Titans becomes the third team after Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings to be eliminated from the playoffs race.
10:36 IST and Local Time | Well, the inevitable has happened. MATCH ABANDONED due to incessant rain. Both teams get one point each. That said, GT are eliminated while KKR have secured a place in Qualifier 1. The previous two times they finished in the top-2, they won the IPL as well. Have to feel for the fans, who did wait around but as the rain got heavier and persistent, the chances of a game happening grew slimmer every minute.
GT, who take on the high-flying SRH in their final league game, would look to end their disappointing season on a high. KKR, on the other hand, would look to continue the already-sustained momentum against RR and into the playoffs. Expect Rahmanullah Gurbaz to get a game before the finals as Phil Salt is set to leave for international duty later this week.

10:30 PM IST & Local Time | Another good news. The pitch cover is also coming off. Ashish Nehra and Shubman Gill are checking on the pitch. Stumps have been erected. It is still drizzling. Varun Chakaravarthy and Abhishek Nayar have a look at the pitch. Mitchell Starc seems a little perplexed. The pitch roller is on.
Meanwhile, Gill and Shreyas exchange cancer awareness ribbon badges before shaking hands, putting a full stop to the possibility of a five-over game.

10:21 PM IST and Local Time | Finally, a great news! The big covers are coming off. The players are out on the ground, wandering around. The groundstaff are putting massive effort into getting the outfield ready for play. Super sopper is soaking the water puddles. The activity has been intensified. Shubman Gill is out in the lavender jersey. KKR players walk out with their playing jerseys. But the pitch is still covered. A couple of umbrellas are back on and that means there is a light drizzle.
Match officials are involved in a big conversation with the head groundsman.
