Two bizarre things happened at Supersport park during the second ODI between India and South Africa.

The umpires had already extended the first innings in the hope of getting a result but then with just 2 runs remaining, they call for lunch. A 40-minute break with just 2 runs to get. Let that sink in.
Twitter, of course, didn’t want to let that sink in and addressed the issue with commonsense and outrage:
