The Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants clash at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium was halted for a while due to a snag in Spider-Cam early on in the innings. The two teams are playing in their first match as KL Rahul has made a return to competitive cricket after an injury break.
RR won the toss and opted to bat first but an unexpected delay occurred in the opening over of the clash. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal started the innings for RR while Mohsin Khan took the charge for LSG. After the third ball, a wire of the spider cam snapped and came on the outfield as the game got halted for a while.
Meanwhile, RR took a humorous way to share the news, posting an image from the 'Mission Mangal' movie and captioning it as "On-off karke try kare, spider cam?".
