Chinnaswamy Stadium was abandoned without a single ball bowled owing to heavy rain. Both sides were granted one point each, taking RCB to the head of the points table and pushing them closer to the playoffs. The washout, meanwhile, snuffed out KKR's faint hopes of reaching the playoffs after a patchy season. Even though the fans were eagerly waiting for the resumption of action, nature had other plans barring yet another surprise in store for cricket.
