IND vs NZ | Twitter buzzing as spidercam glitch brings match to a halt and lunch to the rescue
A game can face many disruptions, and at times, technical malfunctions may even lead to a pause. This was evident on the second day of the Test between India and New Zealand in Mumbai, where the spidercam stopped functioning and forced the match officials to call for an early lunch.
As lunch approached, with just a few minutes left and one over remaining, an issue arose. During the 43rd over, the spidercam malfunctioned, landing awkwardly on the square. The on-field umpires conferred, leading to a temporary halt in play. The Kiwi players shared a few laughs as the humid conditions set in, with Daryl Mitchell engaging in light-hearted banter with the umpires. With the technician delayed in arriving to fix the issue, the umpires opted to call an early lunch due to the unusual pause. Amusingly, as the players returned to their dressing rooms, the spidercam started functioning again. The humorous incident sparked laughter on Twitter, with users sharing their thoughts on the spidercam mishap.
LOL! It's the Spidercam lead to early lunch!

Because the spidercam which came down is not going up due to technical issues..
Lunch has been taken...Â
The demerit of having such a camera.. It can also halt the game..
On the other hand, it gives great visuals as well..

There must be some real issue!
Lunch break comes a little early due to malfunction with spider cam. That's a new one. India dominated this first session with 109 runs in 24 overs and one #wicket lost. Another session like this after lunch will be needed by the Indian side as #NZ will be looking for wickets. pic.twitter.com/zFO8lJglhv

India's innings has been disrupted by a technical issue with the spidercam, forcing an early lunch break with the hosts at 195/5, Shubman Gill top-scoring with 70, Ravindra Jadeja at the crease with 10, Ajaz Patel the pick of the Kiwi bowlersâŚ
Sarfaraz may be?
Does the Indian team still have any marathon innings players, or are we just left with players who put on a short show and call it a day#RishabPant #INDvNZ#INDvsNZ
