Rain spoils Eden Gardens contest

22:59 Local Time: The umpires have a chat with the captains and we see handshakes. That means the game has been called off. KKR are off the mark this season with this one point.

22:45 Local Time: There is a lot of water outside the boundary line. The groundstaff are moving swiftly. Sourav Ganguly, CAB president, talking to the groundstaff.

Weather update: "There's now strong wind to add to the drizzle, it's so strong it's blown a portion of the covers out of position. The outlook remains grim."

Fan reactions: "KKR's combination just isn't clicking right now. If you play Rahane then Narine can't open who is most impactful as an opener." – Shivam
"Despite going in with one of the highest purses, CSK and KKR are still struggling with team balance." – Nadeem
"I would bring Sunil Narine on the top along with Finn Allen. That would be deadly combo!!" – Pratik Sanjiv
