A dog temporarily disrupted the IPL (Indian Premier League) match between the Gujarat Titans and the Mumbai Indians on Sunday in Ahmedabad, surprising everyone, including the cricketers.
What happened on the IPL field?
The canine burglar outpaced the police and other security workers who attempted to stop it as it ran into the stadium at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium, where Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya was bowling.
A woman police officer and another security officer were seen attempting to stop the dog with their legs.
"His inner Messi just came out," reads the caption of one of the viral films, which was likely captured from the stands by a fan. The camera tracks the dog as it enters the field mid-game.
How did Hardik Pandya react?
Pandya was seen attempting to woo the dog, who showed no signs of stopping despite his efforts.
Gujarat Titans defeated Mumbai Indians by six runs in a gripping encounter, as Hardik Pandya suffered defeat as Mumbai's captain in his first IPL match after controversially replacing Rohit Sharma.
Pandya, on the other hand, dismissed the tight setback as "not an issue" given that there are 13 matches remaining.
"Obviously we backed ourselves to chase those runs but it was one of those days when we saw the score quite less compared to what it could have been in five overs, I think we lost a little bit of momentum there," Pandya remarked during the post-match press conference.
"It feels good to be back because this is one stadium where you can enjoy and feel the atmosphere quite lively and obviously the crowd was full and they got a good game as well."
Nearly 90,000 supporters packed the Narendra Modi arena, the world's largest cricket arena with a capacity of 1.32 lakh spectators. The final match of this year's IPL will take place on May 26.
