WATCH: Rahul Dravid waiting for rain to stop at Chinnaswamy during RCB vs RR clash

The play couldn’t begin on time as heavy showers prompted the groundsmen to bring the covers on to the pitch

Former Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Rahul Dravid arrived at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Tuesday night to watch the game between Kohli’s red brigade and Rajasthan Royals (RR). However, the batting great would have been really disappointed as heavy rains played the spoilsport. Dravid was spotted sitting at the stands, waiting for the game to begin. A video was shared on the official Twitter handle of Indian Premier League (IPL) where he could be seen chatting with one the co-spectators. Here’s the video:

The play couldn’t begin on time as heavy showers prompted the groundsmen to bring the covers on to the pitch. The rain also played havoc in the media box as rainwater leaked through the roof. After hours of halt, the match was reduced to five-over aside; thanks to the SubAir technology that hardly takes 20 minutes to get the ground ready once the rain stops. Earlier, Virat Kohli lost the 10th toss in this season after which he said, “I was trying to practice the coin toss, nothing seems to be working. I've lost 10 tosses out of 12.” The Royals won the toss and elected to bowl first. They made just one change; Mahipal Lomror, who played the first game of the season, replaced Ashton Turner. On the other hand, RCB made a couple of changes to the side; Kulwant Khejroliya came in for Shivam Dube to play his first game this season. Also, Pawan Negi came in for Washington Sundar. Here are the teams: Royal Challengers Bangalore: Parthiv Patel(w), Virat Kohli(c), AB de Villiers, Heinrich Klaasen, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Marcus Stoinis, Pawan Negi, Umesh Yadav, Navdeep Saini, Kulwant Khejroliya, Yuzvendra Chahal Rajasthan Royals: Ajinkya Rahane, Liam Livingstone, Sanju Samson(w), Steven Smith(c), Riyan Parag, Stuart Binny, Mahipal Lomror, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat, Varun Aaron, Oshane Thomas
