The much-anticipated Indian Premier League encounter between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians faced an unexpected delay due to rain interruptions on Tuesday evening.
Showers at the venue initially forced players and officials to remain off the field, postponing the toss and pushing back the scheduled start time. Although the rain eventually subsided, wet conditions on the ground meant that match officials continued to assess the outfield before proceeding.
Ground staff were seen working swiftly to clear water and prepare the pitch, raising hopes among fans that play could begin soon. However, no official confirmation regarding the toss timing had been announced at the time of reporting.
Both teams entered the contest aiming to secure crucial early-season points. Rajasthan Royals, playing at their home ground, were looking to capitalize on familiar conditions, while Mumbai Indians sought to build momentum after mixed performances in their opening fixtures.
With the weather improving, spectators in the stadium and viewers at home remained hopeful that a full match would still be possible, depending on how quickly conditions improved.
