Parth Jindal, owner of Delhi Capitals, has requested the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to move their upcoming match due to the threat of heavy rain in Mumbai. Jindal pointed to the precedent set by the IPL’s decision to relocate a match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad to Lucknow due to adverse weather conditions. He emphasized the need for consistency and fairness in such situations. The match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals could be crucial for the fourth playoff spot, with the possibility of a washout affecting the outcome. Jindal’s appeal comes in the wake of frustration expressed by KKR CEO Venky Mysore over the late implementation of a rule allowing for extra time in rain-disrupted matches. The decision to move the match will ensure the integrity of the competition and avoid any unfair advantage due to weather conditions.
