The T20 tournament was suspended for one week due to the India-Pakistan tension. It resumed with a match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday, May 17. However, the match was called off before the toss, and KKR's chances of qualifying ended.
However, Venky Mysore was not impressed with the rule change in the mid-season. In a letter to BCCI COO Hemang Amin, Mysore questioned the timing and fairness of the decision, adding that there should be more consistency.
It Was Clear That the First Game Was at High Risk - Venky Mysore
Venky Mysore stated that the revised rain rule could have made a difference in KKR’s match against RCB had it been introduced earlier. He added that it might have allowed time for at least a five-over-per-side game in the rain-affected fixture.
The match between Bengaluru and Kolkata was officially abandoned at 10:30 PM IST, just 26 minutes before the standard cut-off time for completion.
Not Appropriate for a Tournament of This Standing - Venky Mysore
Kolkata Knight Riders are currently sixth on the points table with 12 points from 13 matches. Notably, two of their fixtures were washed out due to rain. With only one game left, they can reach a maximum of 14 points. The CEO called the late introduction of the revised rain rule inconsistent.
