The second Test between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval witnessed an unusual disruption when Lachie Burtt, an Australian fan, unknowingly caused a chain of events that left Mohammed Siraj visibly frustrated on Day 1. Burtt바카라s unique creation, a 바카라beer snake바카라 crafted from 250 empty cups, became an unintended distraction for both teams. (More Cricket News)

The incident unfolded late on Day 1 as Australia바카라s Marnus Labuschagne was preparing to face Mohammed Siraj. Burtt, attempting to evade security guards, crossed the sight screen area holding his towering creation.

The movement startled Labuschagne, forcing him to step away from the crease mid-delivery. Siraj, already in his run-up, threw the ball towards the batter in frustration, sparking a brief exchange of words.

Speaking to 9News, Burtt later admitted he hadn바카라t anticipated the impact of his actions. 바카라In my head at that time, I just wanted to get away from the guard, so I saw the space and hopped over the tiny white rope. I didn바카라t really have time to stop and think about the repercussions,바카라 he explained.

Despite the incident, Burtt issued an apology to Labuschagne, who graciously accepted it, responding with 바카라no worries, brother바카라 on social media. Reflecting on the moment, Burtt said, 바카라I did feel a bit silly. It wasn바카라t the right thing to do바카라 sorry, Marnus. It was one ball, and Marnus got a four after that, so no worries.바카라

Burtt바카라s 바카라beer snake,바카라 crafted with the help of seven friends, reportedly cost a staggering AUD 2,750 (INR 1,48,699). The group of 67 fans managed to collect the cups during the game, pooling resources to create their 바카라marvel.바카라 As Burtt described, 바카라The funny thing was everyone could buy four drinks at one time, so we were all sitting there with four drinks each.바카라

Despite the brief disruption, Labuschagne went on to score a solid 64 runs, helping Australia dominate the match. The hosts secured a ten-wicket victory, levelling the series 1-1.

The two teams will now head to the Gabba in Brisbane for the third Test of the series beginning on Saturday, December 14.
