IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians postponed. The reason revealed
The highly anticipated IPL 2026 showdown between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Guwahati has kicked off with a delay.
Details: Torrential rain hammered the Barsapara Stadium, forcing organizers to postpone the toss due to an oversaturated outfield. The clash was originally scheduled to start at 16:00 Central European Time.
Latest updates from the ground are encouraging: the rain has eased, and stadium staff have begun removing the protective covers. Players from both teams have stepped onto the pitch to assess the conditions, raising hopes that the match could still get underway, albeit with a delay.
The cricketing world is holding its breath for this unique duel, as 15-year-old sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi gears up to challenge the fast-bowling genius Jasprit Bumrah.
Reminder: Karachi Kings captain David Warner was arrested in Sydney for drunk driving.
