Now I've seen it all. Match stopped because a snake entered the ground. Groundsmen called in to remove the snake. Is this real life? @sportstarweb #INDvsSA pic.twitter.com/ikAQ7xrzOk

Notably, Guwahati hosts a very few international matches and that's why thousands of people reached to witness all the live action from Ind vs SA 2nd T20I. India is already leading the three-match T20I series 1-0. If India wins 2nd T20I vs South Africa, not only will the hosts seal series 2-0 but it will be the first time when team India will beat South Africa in a T20I series on home soil.
