Some of the Indian players including captain Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble had left the city last evening to catch a flight to Bangalore from Delhi.

Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag had also left on Tuesday.

Others who had stayed back preferred to confine themselves to their hotel rooms as heavy rains here brought down the mercury considerably.
