Why we don’t have the toss indoors in international cricket and start the play as soon as rain stops?

The rain interruption during cricket matches is a real struggle for the fans who have travelled from far away to watch their favourites playing. The same happens with the cricketers as well since they keep on travelling from one place to another. So, the cancellation or delay in any game can cause mental pressure on the players. 

The toss takes place 30 minutes before any game commences. But when there's rain, the umpires delay the toss rather than doing it indoors. The toss is always done once the rain stops. What is the real reason behind this? Why don't the umpires conduct the toss indoors? 

Well, these questions are quite relevant and often occur to fans since conducting a toss indoors will save a lot of time. But the real reason behind this is that captains need to check the pitch before making any decisions at the toss. The rain can change the nature of the pitch and if they do the toss without checking the pitch, it will be a blunder. Hence, having the toss indoors isn't possible until the rain stops. 

India vs New Zealand 1st Test match delayed due to rain

Meanwhile, the 1st Test match between India and New Zealand is delayed due to rain and there are fewer chances of the commencement of the match. The match was scheduled to happen at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, but the dramatic weather stopped the start of the match. The toss is delayed too due to the persistent rain for two days. 

Yesterday, the practice sessions were cancelled due to the constant rain that happened throughout the day. The government has issued an Orange alert because of the rain. Hence, the exact time for the start of the match is difficult to stay. The fans have showed much enthusiasm as they have gathered around the stadium in the hope that the pouring will stop and the match will start. Nevertheless, the conditions are against the game for now.
