Kshitij Naveed Kaul leads Coal India Open after rain delay

Kshitij Naveed Kaul has secured a one-shot clubhouse lead at the Coal India Open following a four-under 66 in the second round. The 25-year-old golfer reached a total of 10-under 130 at the Tollygunge Club.

Heavy rain forced a suspension of play at 3:45 PM on Wednesday, leaving nearly half of the 132-player field unable to complete their rounds. Play is scheduled to resume at 7:00 AM on Thursday.

Akshay Sharma sits in second place at nine-under 131, while Om Prakash Chouhan and Saptak Talwar are tied for third at eight-under 132. The current projected cut for the tournament is one-over par.
