BENGALURU: The opening Test match between India and New Zealand faced significant interruptions due to rain on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. The second session of play was entirely washed out as rain of varying intensity continued throughout the day. The umpires conducted a ground inspection around 2 PM when the rain briefly subsided, leading to cheers from the crowd. However, the wet conditions forced the covers back on the pitch, and play was halted.
As the match resumes, fans are hopeful for improved weather conditions in the coming days. The teams are set to continue their battle at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium until October 20.
