IND vs SA: Fans Started A Meme Fest After A Snake Entered Field During 2nd T20I

The Indian cricket team is currently locking its horns with South Africa in Guwahati in the ongoing 2nd T20I match. While the fans were enjoying some stellar batting performances from the Indian side, the game was brought to the most unexpected halt after a snake entered the ground and led to a security pause. 

Yes, you read that right. A snake had unexpectedly entered the ground in Guwahati, leading to an unforeseen pause in the ongoing game. Following this, the groundsmen were seen running onto the ground with snake-snatching equipment and a bucket at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Assam. 

The incident took place at the beginning of the eighth over in the Indian first innings. As Keshav Maharaj ran into bowl at KL Rahul, the on-field umpire asked Keshav to stop and pointed towards the mid-wicket region where a snake was seen moving on the ground.

As a result, the game was halted for a small time before the snake was caught and taken off the ground, ensuring the safety of all the players involved before the play resumed. The snake entering the playing arena left  Indian openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma, and the South African team shocked. 

In fact, Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul were even seen sharing a laugh about it while the staff caught the snake. The video of the same has gone insanely viral on social media.
