The Indian Cricket Board is currently on the receiving end of the hard and fast-lined trolls on social media for the bad weather interruption in the all-important and much-anticipated IPL 2023 final between the Gujarat Titans and the Chennai Super Kings. The rain had already made the authorities to shift the match on the reserve day of today.
Earlier, the match was scheduled on the 28th of May, Sunday but it got washed out due to rain and rescheduled. Later on, after a successful completion of first innings, the rain again played the villain and stopped the game for a long time which is still awaited to get in action.
Subsequently, it happened to trigger the cricket fans and they immediately took to Twitter to brutally troll and fire on the Indian Cricket Board for poor management knowing the weather conditions near the venue for the Indian Premier League 2023 final.
Hereβs how fans reacted:
Look at the technology used by the so-called world's richest board..
