Twitter reacts as fog stops IND vs NZ ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match in Dharamsala

IND vs NZ clash of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 saw some interruption in play due to fog.
It’s almost the end of October, and winter is knocking at the door in North India. India are taking on New Zealand at one of their most picturesque cricket grounds up in the Himalaya. Dharamsala’s HPCA Cricket Stadium is hosting one of the most fascinating encounters in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. There was a bizarre situation during India’s chase of 274 runs against New Zealand. A big cloud cover engulfed the HPCA Ground, and the game was interrupted due to fog.
Social media took the moment, and a flood of memes flew on Twitter (Now X). Users took this situation lightly and reacted on a lighter note. The game was interrupted for about 15 minutes. Before players went out of the field, there was a slight 5-minutes interruption as well. The game resumed after a short break, but not for long. After a few balls, the umpires decided to move out and let the weather settle for further action in the match.
