The second T20I between India and South Africa at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati was stopped after a snake invaded the cricket field.
The incident happened before the start of the seventh over when a black-coloured snake was seen crawling.
As spinner Keshav Maharaj was running into bowl to KL Rahul, he was asked to stop by the umpire who gestured towards the snake.
