Mumbai, March 3 The Indian cricket team delayed its evening training session on Tuesday by over an hour due to the lunar eclipse, ahead of their T20 World Cup semifinal against England.
The T20 World Cup co-hosts were originally scheduled to train in the evening slot of 6-9pm at the Wankhede Stadium here, but they eventually took the field close to 7:20pm local time.
Some members of the support staff had arrived on the field before the players and a few coaches, but the action started after some delay.
In fact, the stadium's floodlights were also turned on around 6:50pm, but not at full intensity, which was done just moments before the rest of the team took the field.
