Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium: The toss in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash between defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and three-time winners Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) has been delayed due to persistent rain and a wet outfield at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh Stadium in Raipur on Wednesday.

At 4:30 pm, the entire ground was covered due to rain for about 30 minutes. A brief drizzle made an appearance around 6:15 pm. The square was uncovered for a while, but the ground was fully covered now, with super soppers moving around on the covers.

But again at 6:35 pm, the rain became heavier, and was accompanied by thunder and lightning. Though rain stopped five minutes before the scheduled toss time, on-field umpires Rohan Pandit and Nitin Menon, along with fourth umpire Kaushik Gandhi, inspected conditions as ground staff members carefully peeled away covers with water collected on them.
