Even the toss, which was scheduled at 9 a.m. could not take place as rain came down relentlessly over the city from morning.
There was a smattering of spectators at the stadium despite the inclement weather.
But the only moment of excitement for them was the sighting of star batter Virat Kohli and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who went for an indoor net session along with assistant coach Abhishek Nayar.
