Team India Delays Training Session in Mumbai Due to Lunar Eclipse Ahead of T20 World Cup Semi-final

Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2026 semi-final against England, Team India postponed its training session at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium by about an hour on March 3. Originally scheduled from 6 to 9 PM, the session was delayed to avoid coinciding with a lunar eclipse (Chandra Grahan) from 3:20 PM to 6:47 PM, which is traditionally considered inauspicious. The team management, led by coach Gautam Gambhir, aimed to start preparations on a positive note, respecting cultural beliefs while continuing their tournament rituals.
