IPL 2026: Toss In RCB‑KKR Clash Set For 8:30 Pm, Play To Begin 15 Mins Later With No Overs Lost
Despite heavy rain earlier in the evening, officials confirmed that no overs will be lost, especially with the cut-off time to lose overs not reached yet. Previously, persistent showers and a wet outfield had forced a delay in the toss and match start time. The entire ground was covered after a 30‑minute spell of rain began at 4:30 pm.
A brief drizzle returned around 6:15 pm, and the ground was fully covered again as super soppers worked on the surface. At 6:35 pm, the rain intensified, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Though conditions eased five minutes before the scheduled toss time, on‑field umpires Rohan Pandit and Nitin Menon, along with fourth umpire Kaushik Gandhi, inspected the ground as staff carefully removed covers laden with water.
