While there were expectations of rain during the match, it was the snake who took the all highlights in the seventh over of India's innings as the match was put on hold temporarily.
Arshdeep Singh's three-wicket haul followed by Suryakumar Yadav's 50* and KL Rahul's unbeaten knock of 51 helped India defeat South Africa by eight wickets in the first match of the three-match T20I series.
His form remains crucial for the Men in Blue heading into ICC T20 World Cup 2022, which India would want to win after a disappointing Super 12 phase exit last year.
The three-match T20I series between India and South Africa will kick off today from Thiruvananthapuram, followed by two more T20Is on October 2 and October 4.
