A bizarre incident took place before the match between Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants on Monday as a dog delayed start of play after entering the field at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
The ground staff were then joined by Lucknow fast bowler Avesh Khan as they tried in vain to shoo the dog away but it kept finding open spaces to run away before getting caught.
Avesh in fact, started having a bit of fun with the dog as other players waited for it to leave the field so that they can start the match.
It was a hilarious but an embarrassing moment for the Chepauk ground staff as incidents like these have happened in the past at this stadium.
Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and opted to bowl first against Chennai Super Kings. This is the first time in nearly four years that CSK is playing in front of their home fans who will expect nothing less than a win tonight.
CSK lost their opening match against defending champions Gujarat Titans in a high-scoring thriller and will be looking to bounce back and return to wining ways.
