Rain in Guwahati has kept the Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians Indian Premier League 2026 clash at bay, as persistent drizzle delayed the toss at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium. Rajasthan Royals came into this fixture with two wins in their opening two matches, while MI had a win and a loss from their two games in the tournament.
The toss was supposed to take place at 7 PM IST, but rain kept playing its game from 4:15 PM onwards with on-and-off showers. The drizzle got heavier at times with predictions of lightning in the evening. The ground was mostly covered, barring one side as puddles formed onto that part of the field. However, the super soppers were on work despite the persistent light drizzle.However, it was enough to keep the action at bay as fans waited in anticipation for this one to begin.
