The opening day of the highly anticipated first Test match between India and New Zealand faced an unexpected setback after persistent rain forced officials to call off play without even a toss taking place. 

Dark clouds carrying persistent drizzle loomed over the stadium, ultimately washing away hopes of a thrilling contest.

Leading up to the match, excitement had been palpable as India were looking to assert their dominance on home soil after a 2-0 series win against Bangladesh, while New Zealand were aiming to bounce back after a 2-0 series loss in Sri Lanka recently. On day two (Thursday), the proceedings are scheduled to get underway at the earlier time to make up for the lost time.
