Rain continued to pour as no action was possible and the toss was also delayed in the match. However, the supporters found a reason to cheer as local hero Virat Kohli came out on the field. Kohli has been a part of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru franchise since the inception of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and enjoys a special connection with the fanbase.
The crowd roared in excitement as Virat made his way to the ground under an umbrella before leaving for an indoor training session.
Rain delayed the toss on day one of the first Test between India and New Zealand in Bengaluru.
