The IPL 2024 match between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday was interrupted when a spider cam wire snapped and fell onto the pitch. The incident occurred after only two balls had been bowled, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler at the crease.
Ground staff promptly removed the wire and play resumed after a short delay, with both franchises still vying for a win.

Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to put Lucknow Super Giants to bat first.
Is that a first? Drone/Spidercam stops play. This game is getting into the zone of the next game again. Makes it tough for people playing Fantasy #RRvsLSG#IPL2024 pic.twitter.com/smLqV538of
