Twitter explodes as the match gets suspended because of the sun
Usually, play is suspended due to rain or bad light. But today, the reason behind the suspension of play was because of the sun was right in front of the players. The fans quickly took on to Twitter and started to troll the situation. Fortunately, it did not stop India from sealing the win.
A bold decision by Virat Kohli!

Vijay Shankar stays. 🚸
Jadeja misses out ✅
Karthik goes out ❎
Rayudu is back 🤨 #NZvInd
What a feat by Mohammed Shami! Mind you he has been in and out of the ODI team frequently!
100 ODI wickets in 55 innings is quite a feat...fastest Indian. Well done, Shami. #NZvInd @StarSportsIndia

That's how good Dhoni is behind the stumps!
No other wicket keeper has more than 140 stumpings in International cricket. Then there is Dhoni approaching 200 stumpings.

He wasn't done yet!
37.6 Dhoni to Kuldeep - 'He will block the ball blindly you should ball round the wicket near stumps'
— DHONIsm™ 💙 (@DHONIism) January 23, 2019
Kuldeep bowled the same and he got the wicket of Trent Boult.
Kuldeep Shocks 🤣
MSD Rocks 😎#NZvIND
What a performance by these 2!
Kuldeep and Chahal today - 20 overs, 6 wickets, average 13.67 & economy 4.1.

This game is a perfect reminder of why Ravindra Jadeja shouldn't be picked ahead of these two world-class spinners.
Jadeja is a defensive bowler. You need attacking bowlers to win matches.#NZvInd
Halfway into the second innings and this happens!
Can you believe it!! 😲SUN STOPS PLAY ! 🌞Play stopped due to excessive sunlight! 🤦🏻♂️ #INDvNZ #NZvIND #sun #stop #play #cricket #napier #NapierODI pic.twitter.com/eGkNxYyVqR

Bad Civil Engineering maybe, when sun stops play?#NZvIND

Double standards!
*Bit of rain* Play stops
— Amit (@Imit4510) January 23, 2019
*Sun shinning* Play still continues.

Sun-Strike!
Why should rain have all the fun?

Sun stops the play...#NZvIND
Got to feel for the spectators!
Sun stops play again as it did the other night. Pretty poor really, could’ve easily coincided the 45 minute break with the sun setting. Now 10,000+ people have to sit watching shadows #NZvIND pic.twitter.com/Kaa8JeADUo

Looks like the Indian players saw this tweet and finished the match off quickly!

Worrying to see that sun has stopped play.
Once play resumes, hopefully, India will quickly finish this game before moon stops play.
