Captain Rohit Sharma (43) and vice-captain KL Rahul gave India a brilliant start in the second T20 of the three-match series between India and South Africa being played in Guwahati. Both added 96 runs for the first wicket. However, the match was stopped before the 8th over amid their fast batting and the reason was very big. This may have been seen for the first time when a snake entered the field in the middle of a match. Many times dogs, cats, bees have been seen in the field but for the first time a poisonous snake was seen in the middle of a live match.
