NDTV
The video of the incident was uploaded on social media and rapidly became viral, as is the case with all strange incidents in today's digital world.
The second Twenty20 International between India and South Africa was strangely interrupted by a snake on Sunday, October 2, at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati. A serpent heading towards the middle of the ground joined the cricketers when they were changing the field placement of the fielders at the end of the Indian innings' seven overs. When the cricket players saw the snake creeping across the field, they immediately alerted the field officials. OMG #snake on playing ground😲😲😲What is Going on! #INDvsSAT20I#Guwahati#INDvsSAnew audience😂🐍 pic.twitter.com/5PQsqeeR0K
The ground crew hurried over with the required tools and quickly took the reptile out. The ground crew's readiness demonstrated that they were aware that a situation like this may occur.
Four men raced onto the cricket field, and all of them looked trained to catch the reptile. One held a snake-catching stick, while the other held a pail.
There have been a number of instances where dogs, birds, cats, and occasionally running nude humans have disrupted games in the past, but with this unusual incident, Guwahati Ground is going down in history.
