Drone delivers KFC bucket mid-match: A novel twist in cricket's tech evolution

Cricket has always been at the forefront of embracing technological innovations, and it often brings forth novel and entertaining scenarios. In a recent display of this innovative spirit, a video surfaced on Thursday, posted by Proteas Men, the official handle of South Africa's national men's cricket team. The video captured a remarkable moment during the second T20I match between Australia and South Africa in Durban on September 1 – a drone delivering a KFC bucket mid-match.

The post carried the caption, "#ThrowbackThursday For the first time EVER, a 21-piece bucket was drone-delivered to @DavidMillerSA12, hot and fresh, right in the stadium! Thanks to @KFCSA Delivery+ for making it possible. #FryHardfans #BePartOfIt #SAvAus”.

In the video, star South African batter David Miller could be seen indulging in some delicious KFC treats from the delivered bucket. With a grin on his face, Miller expressed, "Talk about an epic and unforgettable experience. I doubt anyone has ever enjoyed chicken in such a unique manner. KFC is renowned as one of the trendiest brands, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations by being part of this cricket match”.

This creative blend of cricket and technology not only delighted fans but also showcased how the sport continues to evolve, keeping pace with the ever-changing times. The drone-delivered KFC bucket added a fun and memorable element to the game, demonstrating that cricket can provide both thrilling action on the field and delightful surprises off it.
