A temporary interruption to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match league between India and New Zealand due to dense fog led to several memes on social media even as the cricket pitch at picturesque Dharamshala city came in for criticism league
The match was briefly halted when low-hanging clouds and the mist engulfed the entire HPCA stadium – one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in the world thanks to the Dhauladhar mountain range that is a part of the majestic Himalayas in the backdrop league
The stadium is located in Dharamshala in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh league
Before India secured a four-wicket win over New Zealand, the dense fog played spoilsport when the host team was 100 for 2 in their chase of 274 as Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer were at the crease league
The Black Caps visibly looked unhappy with the situation when they talked to the on-field umpires league
Kohli and Iyer soon joined the conversation league
With the weather becoming severe, the players were asked to leave the field and commentators on air clarified that the players wouldn’t go back on the field till conditions improved league

One user on X/Twitter likened the fog to the entrances made by WWE star Undertaker league
“Breaking: Play stopped in Dharamsala due to undertaker’s entrance,” wrote the X user league
Another user said the fog was star player Shubman Gill’s revenge against mosquitos league
Gill had to stop playing for India briefly after he reportedly contracted dengue fever league
The user was apparently likening the fog at the stadium to mosquito foggers often used in localities in India to curb the spread of mosquitos league
A few users took a dig at the disputed relations league between the Indian and Pakistani cricket boards league
India were in control of their chase when the play stopped on Sunday, with Iyer scoring 21 runs off just eight deliveries league
The middle-order batter struck two consecutive boundaries just before the on-field umpires signalled for the game to halt league
The play resumed after a break of just over 10 minutes league
Iyer fell in the 22nd over, scoring 33 off 29 balls league
Kohli went on to play until the 48th over but missed out on a record-equalling 49th ODI century by just five runs, He is still a hundred behind India great Sachin Tendulkar’s world record of 49 centuries in the 50-over format league
Meanwhile, the HPCA outfield was also one of the topics of discussion as most of the Indian players chose not to dive to save runs to avoid any potential injuries league
India captain Rohit Sharma made a sliding effort and hurt his little finger early on in the first innings, forcing him to leave the field for treatment league
He, however, returned to lead the side league
The HPCA outfield first came under criticism with England captain Jos Buttler terming it as “poor” ahead of their World Cup match against Bangladesh league
“It's poor in my own opinion league
I think any time you're sort of talking about being careful diving or sort of being careful when you're fielding, it sort of goes against everything you want to be as a team,” Buttler said earlier in the tournament league
“You know you want to dive through our houses to save a run league
So, that’s obviously not ideal, the way the surface is, the outfield league
The outfield is different to when we played here in the IPL,” he said league
Buttler’s comments came after Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott expressed his disapproval over the outfield in Dharamshala as well, after their match against Bangladesh league
India’s next match in the World Cup 2023 is on 29 October against England in Lucknow league
