Four instances when cricket matches in 2017 were delayed due to unusual circumstances

#1 Car on the pitch

A Ranji game between Delhi and UP had to be halted for more than 20 minutes after a man drove a car onto the pitch

The most bizarre interruption of a game in 2017 came when a man drove his car on to the cricket pitch when Delhi and Uttar Pradesh were battling it out in a Ranji Trophy encounter in Palam on 3rd November, 2017. It is believed that the security guard was not at his station when the incident took place.

After investigations were conducted, the police arrived at the conclusion that the driver was mentally unstable and hence no formal complaint was lodged. Cricketers like Gautam Gambhir, Ishant Sharma, Suresh Raina etc were on the field when this incident occurred.
