Cricket Drama: Girl Playfully Slaps Boy During IND vs WI 2nd Test, Sparks Social Media Frenzy
The second Test between India and the West Indies in New Delhi gave fans plenty to talk about—both on the pitch and in the stands. While the action at Arun Jaitley Stadium was intense, a quirky off-field moment ended up stealing the spotlight on Day 4.
As the West Indies fought hard to make India work for a result after following on, the cricketing battle was in full swing. John Campbell and Shai Hope brought life back into their side with fighting centuries, scoring 115 and 103 respectively. However, their innings ended sooner than the visitors would’ve liked. It then came down to the final wicket partnership between Justin Greaves and Jayden Seales, who showed grit and determination to frustrate the Indian bowlers even further.
But just when the tension was rising on the field, cameras picked up an unexpected moment in the crowd that quickly took over the internet.
During the 83rd over of the West Indies’ innings, when Roston Chase and Tevin Imlach were at the crease and Kuldeep Yadav was bowling, the broadcast briefly cut to a young couple in the crowd. In the clip, a girl was seen playfully slapping a boy multiple times before grabbing him by the neck—all in a light-hearted manner as both were seen laughing.
The clip went viral in no time, with netizens flooding social media with reactions. Memes, jokes, and questions started pouring in, especially about the identity of the girl. Even Grok, the AI tool often used to analyze viral content, couldn’t provide any concrete information about her—much to the disappointment of curious fans.
Back to the cricket, the West Indies made India work hard in the second innings, posting a solid 390. They had been bowled out for 248 in the first innings, prompting India to enforce the follow-on. Kuldeep Yadav played a vital role in that decision, having taken five wickets. Jasprit Bumrah also chipped in with a three-wicket haul across the match.
India had earlier dominated with the bat, putting up a massive 518/5 after choosing to bat first. Centuries from Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal powered India to that formidable total, setting the tone for the rest of the match.
With a target of 121 to chase in the final innings, India found themselves in a strong position thanks to their disciplined bowling and top-order brilliance.
