Day 3 of the highly anticipated World Test Championship final (WTC) in 2023 witnessed a rollercoaster ride for both teams, offering an array of thrilling moments. However, amidst the intense action, a comical incident during the tea break captured the attention of fans.
During the break, Harbhajan Singh, a former Indian cricketer, shared his analysis of the game. However, in the background of the shot, a fan was inadvertently caught with a beer glass. A crew member discreetly signaled for the fan to remove the glass, causing a moment of confusion before the fan eventually complied and moved it out of the frame.
