Who will win if the reserve day is washed off
The chances of the reserve day getting washed off as well is very little, but in the scenario wherein the reserve day for the final is washed off as well, the new IPL champions will be decided in a rather different method.
The team that is placed higher in the table out of the two finalists will be crowned as the new IPL champions. In this case, KKR will be crowned as the new champions since they finished the season as the table toppers, ahead of second placed SRH.
Although the method seems to be fair, it would be a massive disappointment for the fans as the title will be decided without a ball being bowled.
