No play was possible at Eden Gardens after a heavy afternoon shower left the ground water-logged. Points were shared between the two teams, lifting Rajasthan Royals past Chennai Super Kings to the top of the points table. Kolkata Knight Riders remained third on the table with seven points.

Mitchell Starc and Chris Gayle stole the show as Royal Challengers Bangalore eased to a 10-wicket win over the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League.
A disastrous batting performance from Delhi started with Starc trapping Shreyas Iyer lbw in the first over, and the Australian seamer would be on top form throughout the innings to return figures of 3-20 from his four overs.
There was little resistance from the Daredevils, with only Kedar Jadhav (33) passing 30 as they slipped to 95 all out in 18.2 overs.
Although the signs at the halfway suggested that Bangalore were on course for a comfortable win, it was not clear quite how it easy it would be until Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli attacked from the first over.
Gayle struck four sixes on his way to an unbeaten, while Kohli was 35 not out when Bangalore reached their target in the 11th over.
