After Arshdeep Singh bowled the first over of the second innings in the IND vs SA 3rd T20I 2024 match, the match was halted due to insects and flying ants. The flying ants are majorly seen during the rainy season as they look for mates and places to start new colonies. There have been many such situations when matches are being held in India, however, this was the first time a match was stopped as there could have been a chance of the insects to go in the eyes of the players.
