7-Foot Snake Halts Play During Sri Lanka Vs Bangladesh ODI In Colombo: WATCH
An unusual visitor brought the first ODI between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to a sudden halt when a 7-foot snake slithered onto the field during Bangladesh's innings at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The incident occurred in the third over of Bangladesh's run chase, just as pacer Asitha Fernando was preparing to deliver his fourth ball. Players quickly alerted officials after spotting the snake near the point boundary, prompting immediate intervention by ground staff. Security and maintenance crews acted swiftly to safely remove the reptile, and play resumed after a brief delay. No players or officials were harmed. A 'Naagin Derby' Moment Reignited The bizarre interruption quickly went viral, with fans across platforms dubbing it another chapter in the long-standing 'Naagin Derby', a cheeky term referencing the sometimes tense and theatrical cricketing rivalry between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. The term gained popularity during the 2018 Nidahas Trophy when Bangladeshi players performed a 'Naagin dance' celebration after a dramatic win against Sri Lanka. The snake's surprise appearance in Colombo brought back those memories, leading to a flurry of memes, jokes, and edited videos online. Snake Video Goes Viral The footage of the snake entering the ground has gone viral on social media.
