After the amount of rain the M Chinnaswamy Stadium received in the run-up to the Test, the only reason for hope was the sub-air drainage system on the ground that can reportedly drain 10,000 liters of water per minute. However, there was another obstacle on the course: due to rain the day before the race, the Hawk-Eye layout could not take place. This process also takes an hour and a half. However, that didn’t matter, because at 2:30 PM it was raining heavily. The authorities hope that this formatting can be carried out before the second day, on which rain is expected to fall again.
