The first ODI between India and Australia at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai saw a bizarre interruption when a kite flew into the stadium. The incident took place in the final over when Mohammed Shami was in the middle. Shami was the first to notice the kite and he pointed it to the umpire. Australia batsman David Warner, then, pointed it to the umpire that the kite is entangled to the spider cam wires.

“What do they know about children who had to dart across roads and jump across roofs to catch one kite and here’s one that’s harmlessly floated down,” the commentator added.

After the play resumed, Australia seamer Kane Richardson, who looked amused by the kite delay, dismissed Shami on the first ball of the over to end India’s innings for 255.

India were asked to bat after Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss. The hosts lost Rohit Sharma early, but Shikhar Dhawan went on to score a half century and stitch a partnership with KL Rahul. But after Rahul’s fall, the Virat Kohli-led side suffered a middle-order collapse, and could not capitalise.
