On a doubleheader Sunday, the Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans faced off in their respective curtain raiser, with Hardik Pandya opting to field first against his former franchise.
The game witnessed several twists and turns during the first innings, but a moment that captured everyone’s attention was when a dog interrupted captain Hardik’s third over.
With the score at 114/3 in 14 overs and Sai Sudharsan and David Miller well set at the crease, Hardik took charge of the ball for his third over.
After conceding six runs off the first three deliveries, the game was momentarily halted by a playful dog that dashed onto the cricket field. The dog even approached the MI skipper, who tried to call it back, but it darted away, causing a temporary pause in play.
