WC 2019: Kedar Jadhav has a message for England's weather
What's the story
The excitement around ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 is at its peak. However, England's cruel gloomy weather has taken a toll on the tournament. Till now, three matches have been abandoned and no result was declared for one match. Not just fans but cricketers aren't happy with what's happening. This is probably why Indian cricketer, Kedar Jadhav "sent" a message for rains. Read on.
Match
India's match with NZ was canceled due to bad weather
India and New Zealand match, which was scheduled for June 13, became the latest victim of heavy rains. Unfortunately, fans of both sides could not see their favorite players in action. While frustration engulfed the stadium, Jadhav decided to come out of the dressing room and record a unique message for the rains. Since then, his message has gone viral on the Internet.
Video Message
Jadhav decided to record a video message in Nottingham
In his message, which was recorded in Nottingham, UK, Jadhav can be seen talking to rain in Marathi and urging it to go to his home state, Maharashtra. The fans back home, who were left disappointed when the match was canceled, appreciated his thought. Currently, Maharashtra is experiencing a shortage of water which has affected the lives of the locals.
Information
Jadhav was appreciated for his gesture towards his home state
The video left all the cricket fans, especially those from Maharashtra, emotional. While one of the Twitter users shared the post and appreciated Jadhav's gesture towards his home state, another suggested that he should be made the state's Chief Minister.

Rough translation: Go away, go away rain, go to my Maharashtra. You need to go there. Rain is of greater importance there, not here. #CWC19 https://t.co/XOct3Ft6mC
Impact
Meanwhile, fans are all excited for India v/s Pakistan match
Meanwhile, the biggest blockbuster of the World Cup, India v/s Pakistan is scheduled for Sunday, June 16. However, UK's MeT office has predicted 60% chances of gloomy weather. If that happens, fans on both sides of the border will be upset. After all Indo-Pak matches are a big deal! Moreover, if the game gets canceled, broadcasters and major sponsors could lose Rs. 137.5 crore.
Twitter Post
Unsurprisingly, memes on WC have taken over the Internet
