Heavy rain and a powerful Typhoon Dujuan disrupted India's preparations for their historic T20 International against Japan before the match. The typhoon, moving towards Japan's Pacific coast, brought torrential rain, strong winds, and a heightened risk of landslides in the Kanto region, including Tokyo. The Japan Meteorological Agency warned that conditions could worsen rapidly as the storm approached.
The India squad, based in Japan for the upcoming Suzuki Cup match at the Sano International Cricket Ground in Tochigi Prefecture, missed their eve-of-match training session due to the inclement weather. The fixture, marking the first meeting between India and Japan in men's international cricket, is part of celebrations for 75 years of India-Japan diplomatic relations.
Despite the unfamiliar conditions, captain Shreyas Iyer remained excited about the encounter, praising the hospitality he and his teammates have received in Japan.
