What is the cut-off time for today’s RCB vs CSK IPL 2024 match?
RCB vs CSK match has begun in IPL 2024. The game started a few minutes ago at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. Royal Challengers Bengaluru openers Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli got their team off to a flying start, adding 31 runs in just three overs.
It looked like Du Plessis and Kohli would continue to drive RCB at an expensive rate in powerplay, but rain interrupted the proceedings at the stadium. The match has not resumed yet.

The cut-off time to start a five-over match has been 10:55 PM IST. It means that if the ground is not ready to host even a five-over contest at 10:56 PM IST, the game will be called off.
