In one of the most bizarre incidents on a cricket pitch in recent times, the second T20I between India and South Africa at the Barsapara Stadium was interrupted after a snake entered the ground. Yes, you read that right! After the seventh over of India's innings was completed, players spotted a snake on the pitch and play came to a halt. It was Wayne Parnell who spotted the snake and as the play stopped, KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock were seen having a chat. Groundstaff eventually ran in with sticks and a bucket and took the snake out of the field.

Mismanagement galore during India vs South Africa 2nd T20I

Chaos once again reigned supreme at the ACA Barsapara Stadium here during the India-South Africa second T20I on Sunday. If a snake slithering onto the field during India's innings was not enough, the worst was in store when the stadium went into partial darkness during South Africa's chase of the massive target of 238, causing a second interruption in the match. Just after the first ball of Deepak Chahhar in the third over when South Africa were reeling at 5/2, play came to halt after one of the four floodlight towers went off, halting play for 18 minutes. All the players went back to the dressing room and it took about six minutes for the lights to slowly turn on one by one before play resumed. Blaming it on a "technical glitch", Assam Cricket Association secretary Devajit Saikia told PTI: "We have three parties handling the power aspect – our own 25-member team, a third (outsourced) party and the state power department. It was perhaps a voltage problem, some technical glitch." Saikia said the ACA has used generator sets to power the match and not depended on electricity supply from the power department. The media contingent also faced a similar problem before the match as there were no lights till a few overs into the match as the officials took hours to find out the fault. Earlier during India's innings, it was the turn of a snake to stop the play for about five minutes in a rare sight during an international match.
