Nothing much has changed here

It’s still raining at the venue and the conditions remain far from ideal as the entire ground is covered.

Interestingly, the RCB vs KKR fixture had a similar fate last season as well. 

They met in the tournament opener at Eden Gardens, which RCB won, but the reverse fixture on May 17, 2025 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was washed out due to rain.

Could we be in for a repeat tonight?

Only time will tell.

For now, the toss has officially been delayed. ✅
