The game is closed due to rain, many times it is to stop the game. But have you ever heard that the game is closed due to sunlight?
The strange thing happened in the first ODI of the series between India and New Zealand in Napier. The sun had to stop the game.
India beat South Africa by 157 runs They had to break 41 runs without any wicket. After the break, only one over game was played, then the match to stop again due to the sun.
No, do not hear the mistake. At the McLaren Park ground in Napier, the sun stood at such a position that its light is falling directly into the batsman's eyes. It has forced the game to be stopped.
This is not the first time in this field. Twenty-two years ago, a Twenty20 match between Bangladesh and New Zealand had to stop the match for a while. This happened in the domestic Super Smash match on January 19 this year.
But South African umpire Shaun George was surprised to see the incident. He said he did not see the game stopped due to the sun during the 14-year umpiring career.
