IND vs NZ: Virat Kohli tests spidercam on day 3 of second test© AFP
In one of the weirdest and strangest stop-games, Wankhede Spidercam Stadium forced players to have an Early Tea on Day 3 of the Second Test. There was a commotion around the stadium as the players gathered around the Spidercam, which was hovering not too far off the ground and refused to turn back. The whole situation soon led to some lighthearted moments shared by the Indian team around the camera. The players took the opportunity to have fun with Team India captain Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav in the lead. While Kohli appeared to be interacting and making a face as he looked at the camera, Suryakumar Yadav quickly posed with his impressive glasses.
