The Punjab Kings (PBKS) found a creative way to pass time during a nearly two-hour rain delay in their match against Mumbai Indians (MI). As the umpires inspected the outfield, PBKS players engaged in a viral football drill that involved using teammate Priyansh Arya as a human prop.

This unusual game, known as 'rondo' in football, typically involves players standing in a circle passing the ball while one player in the middle tries to intercept. In this instance, Arya was positioned as a target for practicing shots, adding a playful twist to the drill.

"Punjab Kings' bizarre game of football during the rain delay left the internet baffled," highlighting the novelty of the activity.

The rain caused a significant delay, pushing the match start back by almost two hours. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that no overs were lost when play resumed at 9:45 PM.

Earlier, PBKS captain Iyer won the toss and elected to field, with Yuzvendra Chahal returning to the playing XI after recovering from a wrist injury.

This inventive use of downtime not only entertained fans but also showcased the team's camaraderie and adaptability during unforeseen interruptions.

"For the unversed, this type of game is called rondo, which the footballers play during practice and a player serves a punishment, where they are targeted in a similar manner."
