The rain prevented the Indian Premier League’s return from suspension, which ended the match between Bengaluru’s Royal Challengers and Kolkata Knight Riders.
After being suspended for a week because of tensions between India and Pakistan centered on Kashmir, the game in Bengaluru was scheduled to mark its return.
After Virat Kohli, the home team’s hero, made the announcement to retire from test cricket last week, there were many fans at M Chinnaswamy Stadium wearing cricket whites.
However, the persistent rain forced them to cover up, with neither party gaining any compensation for the failure.
Kolkata, the reigning champions, will now have to win both of their remaining games to advance, meaning they must now no longer qualify for the end-of-season play-offs.
Meanwhile, RCB is now top of the table with 17 points and has now advanced to the play-offs.
