A village cricket match in India was interrupted after an angry bull invaded the pitch, causing panic among players. A video of the same incident has gone viral on social media. In the viral video, the bull charged across the outfield, before cantering onto the pitch. Despite not panicking initially, the players eventually decided to run away for the scene with the bull making zig-zag movement on the pitch. The umpire too was stunned as he turned backwards and ran as fast as he could to escape the scene.
As the bull left the pitch after chasing the players and the umpire, the two batters returned to scene and were seen having a laugh about the whole episode. The incident also left the commentator in splits.
IPL team commented o the video saying: "#Bazbull"

The hosts defeated England by 434 runs in the third Test of a five-match series to achieve the feat.
Yashasvi Jaiswal hit an unbeaten 214 and put on a destructive 172-run partnership with debutant Sarfaraz to set up the game for India.
The 22-year-old Jaiswal now averages 71.75 in seven Tests, and leads the series batting chart with 545 runs, and needs 139 in his next innings to become the fourth-quickest batsman in history to 1,000 Test runs, and the fastest in 75 years.
The hosts lead the series 2-1 with two games left to play.
The fourth Test starts Friday, February 23 in Ranchi, while the fifth and final Test will be played from March 7-11 at the picture-esque HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.
