The opening ODI match between India and Australia saw the hosts suffering as their batting order collapsed.
While the match got Indian fans disappointed, the intervention of a kite brought a little smile on the faces.
At the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the match was intervened by a kite.
The kite was spotted by Indian pacer Mohammed Shami during India's innings and was also spotted by David Warner who showed the umpire that it was entangled to the spider cam wires.
Best part of Indian inning was that little cameo from kite.#INDvsAUS

As for the match, India are all out for 255. India lost Rohit Sharma early in the play. Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul managed to keep the scoreboard ticking. However, after a century stand, India lost the wickets of Rahul and Dhawan and soon Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer were also sent back.
The Men in Blue will now look to defend the not-so-big total against a skilled Australia.
