## Leadership after rain delays
Three golfers share top spot after heavy rain caused five hours of lost play on Thursday.
## Hidalgo, Meronk, Luiten lead
Angel Hidalgo, Adrian Meronk and Joost Luiten each carded eight-under-par 136 to move to the top of the leaderboard.
## Luiten squanders lead chance
Luiten missed a three-foot putt after finding rough and landing in a greenside bunker on the penultimate hole.

> Everything went bad (on that hole). The long day and tiredness just got to me a bit at the end.
## Meronk's consistent play
Meronk missed an eight-foot putt on the final hole but remained the most consistent player with two bogey-free rounds.

> Playing smart off the tee, and placing the ball in good spots was the key to negotiating the challenging course.
## Key takeaway

Angel Hidalgo, Adrian Meronk and Joost Luiten tied for first place at the DP World India Championship after heavy rain delays.
