The Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) IPL encounter on Saturday saw an unusual break in play when a kite landed on the field at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

This quirky incident, which took place during the MI chase, left the crowd chuckling as Rishabh Pant, the DC skipper, attempted his hand at some kite-flying.

The day began with a record-breaking performance by the DC batters, who put a mammoth 257/4 after being put to bat first.

Just as things seemed to be getting underway, a kite came fluttering down onto the pitch, forcing a short break in the action.
