Melbourne – Captain Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Hardik Pandya lost control on the ground after the spider hit the camera during the India-Pakistan Twenty20 World Cup match. The Indian players made their displeasure public on the ground when the ball, which should have been caught, hit the camera and missed.
