Earlier, the first match of the day between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata was washed out because of heavy rain without a single ball being bowled.

Umpires have inspected the ground and they have identified few grey areas which will take a bit more time before we can get the play underway. 

Meanwhile, we have an update from the Eden Gardens, where the covers are being taken off.

If there is no further rain, the umpires will inspect the field of play at 17:35 hours local time.

Things haven't changed much..it is still pouring at the Eden Gardens. 5:15 is the cut off time untill we start losing overs. 

Well, it has started to rain heavily again at the Eden Gardens and the chances of match taking place are in serious jeopardy at the moment.

Commentator Aakash Chopra, who is at the venue, says it is raining heavily now.

"Sorry to disappoint but nothing good to share from Kolkata...in fact, it's raining harder now and the ground-staff has disappeared #KKRvRR," he tweets.

Heavy rain in Kolkata has delayed the start of the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals match at the Eden Gardens.

It has been pouring non-stop for the last few hours and even though it has stopped raining there is too much of water on the covers.

"Well it has stopped raining, but there is so much standing water that the covers are barely being moved #KKRvRR #IPL," IPL's official Twitter account said.

There will be an official inspection after the rain subsides but that looks too far away at the moment.

The scene was pretty similar on Saturday too as the rain battered the Eden Gardens for more than three hours around the same time denying KKR practice on the eve of the match and they had to content with the indoor facility.

The local Met office has blamed it on a cyclonic circulation over Jharkhand and adjoining South Bengal.

KKR's last outing in Visakhapatnam too was affected by rain as they were done in by Sunrisers Hyderabad by 16 runs via Duckworth-Lewis method.

Welcome to the update of the first game of the day between Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals here at the Eden Gardens.
