SRH vs GT: Hyderabad treats fans with laser show amidst rain marred game - Watch

Match 66 of the Indian Premier League 2024 was abandoned due to incessant rain. Sunrisers Hyderabad hosted Gujarat Titans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on May 16. The rain did not even let the toss take place and fans were agonized witnessing the proceedings. However, the Uppal Stadium management did not disappoint the thousands of crowds in attendance.

The DJ treated fans with some laser show and some music from the South Indian movies. In a video that is going viral on social media, fans could be seen cheering up each other as the Oscar-winning song Naatu Naatu was played. It is worth noting that this was the first instance in the history of Hyderabad hosting IPL that a match was called off due to rain.

Here’s the video of fans enjoying the laser show:

SRH qualify for the payoffs of IPL 2024

The abandoned match meant that SRH cemented their spot in the playoffs of IPL 2024. They have accumulated 15 points in 13 games and are placed in third place on the points table. Their desire of getting into the top two positions was also marred by the rain. They had to settle with Qualifier 2 and are waiting for their opponent to catch up in some days.
