Match Abandoned Without a Ball Bowled Between GT and KKR

At Narendra Modi Stadium Due to Rain

Ahmedabad, May 13, 2024: The highly anticipated clash between the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad ended in disappointment as incessant rain played spoilsport, forcing the match to be abandoned without a single ball being bowled.

Fans had gathered in anticipation of witnessing a thrilling encounter between the two sides, but their hopes were dashed as the rain continued to pour down relentlessly throughout the day. Despite the best efforts of the ground staff, who worked tirelessly to try and make the ground playable, the weather gods did not relent, ultimately leading to the abandonment of the match.

Both teams were left frustrated by the turn of events, as they were eager to get their campaigns back on track with a victory. The Gujarat Titans, led by their captain, had been looking to build on their strong start to the season and climb up the points table, while the Kolkata Knight Riders were hoping to bounce back from a series of disappointing results in recent matches.

Speaking after the match, GT captain expressed his disappointment at not being able to take the field. “It’s always disappointing when a match has to be abandoned due to weather conditions, especially when both teams were raring to go. We were looking forward to putting on a good show for the fans here in Ahmedabad, but unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be.”

His counterpart from KKR echoed similar sentiments, stating, “It’s frustrating to have travelled all this way and not even get a chance to play. We were geared up for a tough contest against GT, but unfortunately, the weather had other plans.”

With both teams now having to settle for a point each from the abandoned fixture, they will be hoping for better weather and clearer skies in their upcoming matches as they look to make a push for the playoffs in the ongoing tournament.

Despite the disappointment of the abandonment, fans will be eagerly awaiting the next opportunity to see their favorite teams in action, hoping for more thrilling encounters as the tournament progresses.
