'Naagin Is Back': Dinesh Karthik Trolls Bangladesh As Snake Halts Play At LPL

It is not uncommon for cricket matches to be halted due to the presence of some animal inside the ground – ranging from birds to cats to even dogs. However, Lanka Premier League 2023 game between Galle Titans and Dambulla Aura had to be stopped after a snake invaded the pitch and left the players and commentators in splits. The umpire asked the cricketers to stop playing during the fifth over of Dambulla's innings as the officials tried to get the snake out of the ground.
