Meanwhile, when entirely the whole of India is glued to their mobiles or desktops for the weather updates, Google India have taken note of the trend and have posted a light meme from their official Twitter handle.
Here are some of the reactions on the viral post.
Cut-offs for a rain delay on Reserve Day
In case of a rain delay, the rules for the cut-off time on Reserve Day remain the same as it was for Sunday.
The match will start losing overs from 9:35 pm. From that time onwards, the match will keep getting shorter with the cut-off time for a five-over match being 12:06 am (Tuesday).
If there is additional rain, there will be an opportunity to resolve the outcome with a Super Over. To ensure readiness for this scenario, the outfield and pitch must be prepared no later than 1:20 AM IST.
In case the entire match is washed off, the team that finished highest in the league table after the 70 matches of the regular season shall be declared the winner of the relevant playoff match or final.
That means, if the reserved day got washed out then the defending champions Gujarat Titans will retain the IPL title by virtue of topping the league table.
