A cricket match was going on in the stadium, suddenly all the players including the umpire lay down on the ground, causing a ruckus


New Delhi. It is often seen during a cricket match that sometimes a snake or sometimes a dog enters the field. It is the year 2023 when during a Ranji Trophy match, bees attacked the players present on the field. During this, all the players lay down on the ground and in this way they protected themselves. No one was harmed in this attack.

Actually, this incident is from the Uttar Pradesh and Odisha match in 2023. On the second day, after the lunch break, when the Uttar Pradesh team was batting, then the bees attacked the players. The swarm of bees hovered over the field for about a minute. After this, they went away from there. Then all the players including the umpire stood up and restarted the match. Let us tell you that this incident happened in Bhamashah Park, which is located in Meerut.

This happened in the World Cup as well
This was not the first time that players were attacked by bees. Bees had also entered the match played between South Africa and Sri Lanka in the ICC World Cup 2009. Bees had also created panic in the match played against India in 1979. Apart from this, in the Ranji Trophy match in 2000, bees had also entered the field and stopped the match.

In the 2019 World Cup, during the match between South Africa and Sri Lanka on Friday, bees attacked the field. In the 48th over of Sri Lanka’s innings, all the players and umpires suddenly lay down on the field. Suranga Lakmal and Isuru Udana were at the crease at that time. The spectators and commentators were shocked to see this. They could not understand what was actually going on on the field.
