The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the biggest cricket league in the world. The T20 cricket tournament features some of the best talents in the world as superstar cricketers from around the world feature in the cash-rich league. However, the tournament is still far from perfect. While there are issues like weather interruptions which is still understandable to a certain extend, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) IPL 2024 fixture saw the match getting delayed due to a spider-cam flaw before a bail issue.
If that was not enough, the Gujarat Titans (GT) vs Mumbai Indians (MI) IPL 2024 match at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad was stopped due to a dog entering the field of play. The incident happened during the GT innings who were batting first in the match. Hardik Pandya was gearing up to bowl when the play was halted due to this reason and was seen reacting to a dog running across the ground, in a video which has gone viral on social media.
