India Adjusts Training Schedule Ahead of T20 World Cup Semi-Final Due to Lunar Eclipse

Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final against England, Team India postponed its training session at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium by one hour on March 3 to avoid practicing during a lunar eclipse. The eclipse, occurring from 3:20 PM to 6:47 PM, is considered inauspicious in Hindu rituals. The team management, led by coach Gautam Gambhir, chose to start practice around 7 PM to maintain positive momentum. Throughout the tournament, the team has observed various religious rituals, including temple visits.
