15 minutes behind schedule
In an Indian household, a homecoming is a reason for celebration. Relatives, friends and well-wishers queue up for the welcome party. So, in keeping with tradition, the Indian Premier League opener for the third edition was nothing short of a homecoming for the cash rich event after its South Africa sojourn. See spl | Watch Video
The Sony commercial for the tournament promised a red carpet welcome with a glitzy opening ceremony at the DY Patil stadium in Nerul. The 55,000-capacity stadium was all decked up but quite a few pockets of empty seats all around the ground were hard to miss.
The stadium was not even half full when the opening ceremony began, though the numbers did swell by the time the game began 15 minutes behind schedule.
I guess it means "15 minutes delay start". Is it correct?
