A little sparring cricket action came on the fourth day of the second Test between India and the West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, while the stands had a feel-good moment that stole the limelight online.
An ever-viral video soon to hit social media captured a woman seen thrashing a man seated next to her thrice. The incident was briefly captured by the broadcasting cameras, thereby taking many shares of attention away from the on-field contest, further fuelling the online frenzy.
Stadium Spectacle
To begin with, it looked like a pretty bizarre incident, and a hard fight put up by the West Indies team was already at the second innings sometime around 293 for 4. Some views broadcasted by the cameras pointed directly to the movement in the audience, and it showed a woman playfully slapping a man lightly over his face several times and later hugging him around the neck.
Audience members using the cameras would realize that at every point in the series, the man kept flashing a smile and laughed-meaning an argument less serious than playful. This interpretation fueled speculation regarding their relationship and the context of the moment.
Social Media Storm
It was affecting the match proceedings, with India striving to clinch the series victory, and suddenly there was this short video that took on an online life of its own and derailed consideration from that tense argument on field.
The diffusion of the video created a plethora of memes and debates on sites such as X. The hashtags around this topic were trending as people attempted to decode the conversation that probably motivated the funny but aggressive antics of the woman.
