PIX: Fans frustrated as rain plays spoilsport in Bangalore

Hope sustains life and this young fan has not lost hope of watching his favourite cricketers in action.

This fan covers himself as heavy rains delay the start of the Indian Premier League between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Chennai Super Kings held at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Saturday.

The ground staff try their best for some cricketing action. A supper sopper is being pressed to service.

The crew members put their hands up in the air as leave the rest to the rain gods.

Even the crew members were not spared as they were seen running for the covers.

Ground staff bring in the covers to save the pitch.
