All things were going according to plan for team India on the first day of 2nd Test match against England in Vishakhapatnam. With the help of Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara’s brilliant centuries, India was dominating the visitors on the Day-1.
Unfortunately, the march to Kohli and Pujara’s centuries was abruptly halted when an unwelcome guest invaded the ground. A stray dog forced an early tea break with Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara approaching centuries.
Soon multiple stadium staffers tried to make it leave, the hyper pooch made sure it would get as much time in the spotlight as it could. In fact, the umpires had to halt proceedings and call for an early tea break, making Kohli and Pujara wait for their centuries nearly 20 minutes longer than they should have.

But the scene-stealer is a legit star now, getting a Twitter account of its own within 20 minutes of the amazing chase sequence going down.
Twitter Reactions:

Broad offered the dog the red Test cheery. The dog refused.
Test cricket is dying. #INDvENG

The dog managed to take a dump in the middle of a cricket ground while being chased around. Clearly the performer of the day #INDvENG 🐶💩

Wait till Lodha hears about the dog. Gonna take a few more affidavits to clear this one. #INDvENG

Both Kohli and Pujara eventually got their hundreds, but it was the dog that stole the day.
