WTC Final: Netizens begin meme feast as 'rain wins the toss and decides to delay the match first'

What a bummer! Just as fans were getting excited about the World Test Championship (WTC) final, the rain had to pour down, drowning all the excitement.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) gave an update and stated that there will be no play in the first session on Day 1.

The BCCI had earlier shared pictures from The Rose Bowl where it continues to drizzle. They captioned the image, "Good morning from Southampton. We are just over an hour away from the scheduled start of play but It continues to drizzle here. The match officials are on the field now. #WTC21".

Update: Unfortunately there will be no play in the first session on Day 1 of the ICC World Test Championship final. #WTC21

The game does have a reserve day on June 23 but in case of a no-result, the Test Championship will be shared.
