Heavy rains lashed Hyderabad on Thursday afternoon, bringing much-needed relief from the rising temperatures. However, the downpour also led to flooding in several parts of the city.
After about four hours of waiting for the rain to stop during the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Uppal, officials decided to call off the game as the rain did not come to a halt. The match, scheduled to start this evening, was eagerly anticipated by Hyderabadis who had been hoping all afternoon that the weather would cooperate. Fans who attended the stadium are now hoping the ticketing partner will issue refunds.
