'Mujhe kuch dikhayi nahi de raha maa' - X starts memefest as fog halts play during IND vs NZ clash in CWC 2023

The India vs New Zealand fixture of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 saw a bizarre stoppage on Sunday, October 22 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala. During the second innings of the match, intense fog spread all over the stadium in the 15^th over of the innings forcing the umpire to stop the play.

However, the conditions improved quickly and the play was resumed only to be stopped again in the very next over. The low-hanging clouds/mist engulfed the entire stadium again reducing the visibility in the field. As a result, the play had to be stopped with India on 100/2 after 15.4 overs.

After the play resumed, India further lost wickets in heap as Shreyas Iyer (33 off 29) and KL Rahul (27 off 35) gave their starts away. However, chasemaster Virat Kohli stood like a rock between New Zealand’s win and played another masterful innings of 95 (104) smashing eight fours and two sixes in his knock. He was well supported by Ravindra Jadeja who scored 39* (44) to guide India to a four-wicket win.

Earlier in the innings, Captain Rohit Sharma once again got their team off to a sensational start by scoring 46 (40) smashing four fours and four sixes in his innings. Courtesy of their remarkable peformances, the Men in Blue managed to register their fifth consecutive win of the tournament and climbed to the top of the points table.
