Watch: Snake Enters The Ground To Stop The Play During IND vs SA 2nd T20I In Guwahati

A snake entered the ground to interrupt the play during the second match of the three-match T20I series between Rohit Sharma-led India National Cricket Team and Temba Bavuma-led South Africa National Cricket Team at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, October 2.

The bizarre incident took place after the 7th over of the first innings of the match. A few South Africa National Cricket Team players pointed out that a snake has entered the field and the play was stopped for a while.

While the matter was being sorted out by the ground staff, the players took an unofficial drink break.

Earlier, South Africa National Cricket Team won the toss and elected to bowl first in the match. They made a sole change as the highest-ranked spinner in the ICC T20I rankings, Tabraiz Shamsi, was dropped and pacer Lungi Ngidi was included in the playing XI. India, on the other hand, fielded an unchanged playing XI.

Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul provided India with a great start in the match with the latter being the aggressor. At the end of the powerplay, the Men In Blue were at 57/0.

Meanwhile, India National Cricket Team kicked off the series with a brilliant victory over the Proteas in the first T20I at the Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday, September 28 and they have a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series.
