    WATCH: Snake invades field during Andhra-Vidarbha Ranji Trophy tie
  • In a weird incident, the start of the Ranji Trophy 2019-20 tie between Andhra and defending champions Vidarbha was delayed after a snake invaded the playing field.

    Being played at the Dr. Gokaraju Liala Gangaaraju ACA Cricket Ground in Vijayawada, the snake was spotted right before the start of the game, as the ground staff, right away, ensured that it slithers away.

    Here's more.

  • The incident happened right after Vidarbha captain Faiz Fazal won the toss and elected to bowl.

    As his team made its way out, the snake was spotted slithering in the field.

    The ground staff were alerted as players and umpires stayed away from the field until they got the creature away.

    Consequently, the start was delayed just by a few minutes.
