IPL 2026 Week Two Faces Weather Challenges

The second week of the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) has begun on a challenging note, with matches on Monday and Tuesday being canceled due to rain. The upcoming match on Wednesday (April 8) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is also at risk, as unseasonal rain has been reported in the capital, which typically experiences intense heat during this time of year. The match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) was abandoned after just 3.4 overs due to rain at Eden Gardens on April 6. Additionally, the game between Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) was also affected.
