New Delhi: 

In a bizarre turn of events, the match between India and South Africa at the SuperSport Park Centurion was suspended for nearly 30 minutes due to an unexpected invasion of flying ants. The interruption came just as South Africa began their chase of India’s towering total of 220. Despite the unusual delay, the match offered high octane moments, particularly from India’s young star Tilak Varma, whose century set the stage for a memorable game.

Game Stopped by a Storm of Flying Ants

With South Africa one over into the innings, player and officials began noticing and unusual disturbance: swarms of flying ants hovering over the field. The sheer density of these insects quickly became unmanageable, obstructing players’ vision and affecting their performance. Some ants even made their way into some player’s eyes, causing discomfort to the players. After brief discussions between the umpires and captains, officials halted the match to allow ground staff time to disperse the insects.

This pause became the match’s defining moment, a rarity even in the sometimes unpredictable world of cricket. Flying ants, common in South Africa after recent rains, typically appear in swarms during humid conditions. Despite this, it’s rare to see a cricket match affected to such an extent by insects, making this suspension one for the books.

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
