Fortunately, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) used a 'reserve day' to hold the final the next day. However, rain also intervened on this day, causing the match to be shortened to 15 overs in the second innings. Ravindra Jadeja hit a six on the last ball, giving Chennai Super Kings victory against the home team Gujarat Titans. This was Chennai Super Kings' fifth IPL title.
