Bizarre incident: Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai & Karnataka interrupted due to snakes

Unlike India vs Sri Lanka match that had to be called off in Guwahati due to bad weather, the third day of the Ranji Trophy match between Mumbai & Karnataka at the Bandra Kurla Complex, Sunday had to face interruptions because of snakes which kept appearing in the field.

A snake catcher, who was called upon to take care of the unexpected situation, caught two of them.

Amol Karhadkar of The Hindu posted a picture of the incident on Twitter.

He tweeted: “The highlight of the day at BKC: The snake-catcher displays his “second catch of the day”. It’s a non-venomous rat snake, btw #RanjiTrophy #MUMvKAR.”

Karnataka beat Mumbai by 5 wickets in the Elite Group B Ranji Trophy. However, this is not the first time that such a disruption has been caused.

Last year, Andhra vs Vidarbha was also delayed because a snake had sneaked into the field.
