Bengaluru has been grappling with unprecedented rainfall which has led to waterlogging across different parts of the city. Meanwhile, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Bengaluru can expect more rain, with forecasts predicting heavy rainfall for the next five days.

RCB's schedule has been severely disturbed due to the persistent rain and thunderstorms that have plagued Bengaluru over the past few days, and their last game in the city, which was scheduled for May 17, was washed out without a single ball being bowled and toss.
