As Snake Halts Match at LPL, Dinesh Karthik Trolls Bangladesh
It is not common for cricket matches to be stopped because of the presence of some kind of animal on the ground; it could be birds. Cats are even dogs. But in the match of the Lanka Premier League 2023 between Galle Titans and Dambulla Aura, the match had to be stopped after a snake invaded the pitch and left the players and commentators in splits. During the fifth over of the Dambulla innings, the umpire asked the cricketers to stop playing as the officials tried to get the snake out of the ground. Star of Galle Titan Shakib Al Hasan could be seen gesturing as he had a conversation with the batter regarding the situation. While it was not a situation that is quite common on a cricket field, veteran Indian cricket team star Dinesh Karthik took the opportunity to take a dig at the Bangladesh cricket team.
He tweeted, saying, "The Naagin is back. I thought it was in Bangladesh." It was a reference to the infamous "Naagin Dance" celebration, which has been criticized by a number of opposing teams.
Star international cricketers such as Babar Azam, Shakib Al Hasan, and David Miller are ready to roar in the Lanka Premier League 2023, as the league is scheduled to be played in Sri Lanka from July 30 to August 21.
