RR vs KKR Highlights IPL 2024: Match Abandoned Due to Rain

Visuals from the middle show handshakes all-round. It seems like we will not have a game today as the inclement weather. Credit to the ground staff. Shreyas Iyer and Sanju Samson come out and it has been confirmed that the match has been abandoned due to rain.

RR XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sanju Samson(w/c), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Rovman Powell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, Avesh Khan, Nandre Burger

Impact Subs: Shubham Dubey, Keshav Maharaj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Sen, Donovan Ferreira

Well, the rain has returned just as the toss was completed. The interruption continues for the Royals who thought they had the chance with a 7-over game but the inclement weather continues.

The match has been reduced to 7 overs per side and the game is set to begin at 10:45 PM IST.

Both the captains are out in the middle. Shreyas Iyer calls heads and he wins the toss and has opted to bowl first against Rajasthan Royals. For the visitors, Anukul Roy comes in.

Visuals from the ground show that Kumar Sangakkara seems to be discussing with the match referees regarding the format for a five-over game. It will definitely be a different kind of test for both sides with the overs being slashed down.

The news from the middle is that the umpires will be out to inspect the pitch at 10:25 PM IST. Could we have a game on our hands? Rajasthan Royals will certainly hope so.

Good news for the fans as the rain seems to have subsided. However, the bad news is that the ground seems to be very wet at the moment. Let us hope that the groundsmen can do their magic so we do have a game on tonight. The pitch is still under covers.

The rain is persisting at the moment and it seems unlikely that we could have a game today. The groundsmen might have also given up at this stage by leaving parts of the ground uncovered during the showers as well which is not ideal.

If today’s match is indeed washed out, the Royals will be forced to take on the red-hot Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the eliminator while Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will take each other on for Qualifier 1 of the Playoffs.

If we are to have a game today, the 5 over game will have to take place by 10:55 PM IST and the toss needs to take place 15 minutes prior. But it seems unlikely that we will have a game today with puddles of water forming around the ground which is not a good sign.

Bad news for the Rajasthan Royals as the rain has returned. Just when you think a game could be on. The showers have come back to play spoilsport for the Royals and there seems to be thunder present as well.

Positive news for the fans as the rain has stopped for the time being. The groundsmen are at work looking to get the ground ready as soon as possible here for the crucial clash which decides who gets the Top-2 spot in the playoffs.

We start to lose overs now. Positive sign is that rain has slightly reduced but the covers are still on. Not ideal for the home side.

This is not good news for the Rajasthan Royals as almost the entire ground is now covered up to avoid water being seeped in. The showers continue to get heavier which is not ideal

Seems like the delay continues as the rain has gotten even heavier than before. Not ideal for the fans in Guwahati and the Rajasthan Royals camp.

As the Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to beat Punjab Kings, the Royals would have to win the clash against KKR if they are to secure their spot in the playoffs. Nothing else will settle change the outcome for the Royals and Sanju Samson’s side will hope that the rain subsides soon.

It looks like the toss has been delayed due to rain at Guwahati at the moment. The groundsmen seem to be covering the tracks which is not ideal for the Royals. Despite the delay, there is still some time until we start losing overs. The home side will hope that they can get a full game.

The form of Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top of the order has been a massive concern for the Royals. Despite them making it to the playoffs, their batting has taken a massive hit with most of the runs being scored by Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag. If the Royals are to go and win this game, they will need support from the other batters, particularly from Jaiswal.

Both Jos Buttler and Phil Salt have exited their respective franchises due to national duties. It remains to be seen who KKR will go with but it is likely going to be Rahmanullah Gurbaz who gets the callup. For RR, Tom Kohler-Cadmore could get this run of games and both sides will hope that the loss of the English giants will not be something that costs them in the end.

The Royals will be kicking themselves if they are not able to get the win tonight and secure a top-two finish. After a dominant start to the tournament, the Royals have come crashing down with four losses on the trot. Sanju Samson’s side will be looking to get the win against KKR which could add momentum in their favour going into the playoffs.
