An evening desert storm has delayed the toss of the Indian Premier League game between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore with the next inspection slated at 7:25 pm IST.
Sharjah and desert storm bring back memories for Indian cricket fans as 23 years back, Sachin Tendulkar played an incredible innings against Australia in a losing cause, but it took India to the final of the Coca Cola Cup tri-series in 1998.
Both captains MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli were seen having a chat with match referee Javagal Srinath and it was decided that the toss be delayed by at least 25 minutes.
