The second day of the ongoing Ranji Trophy matches in Mumbai and Rajkot will start late by two hours due to solar eclipse. A source in the host State association confirmed this after the opening day’s play between Mumbai and Railways concluded at the Wankhede Stadium here.
A solar eclipse occurs when a portion of the earth is engulfed in a shadow cast by the moon which fully or partially blocks sunlight. All Ranji Trophy games begin at 9.30 am.
