Sight screen distractions are fairly routine for batters, but camera operators must exercise caution. During the high-stakes match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala, a cameraman acted carelessly by moving close to the sight screen, leading to an interruption in play.

‌The much-anticipated clash between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals in Dharamshala got off to a delayed start due to rain stealing the spotlight. After nearly an hour's wait, play finally began with Punjab skipper Shreyas Iyer winning the toss and choosing to bat first. The decision proved fruitful as openers Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh continued their rich form, racing to 50/0  in just four overs.

However, amidst Punjab's dominant start, a brief moment of frustration surfaced involving Prabhsimran Singh and Mitchell Starc. The Australian pacer was struck for back-to-back boundaries by Arya on the first two deliveries of his over. Starc responded with two tight dot balls, regaining some control. But just as he was about to deliver his fifth ball, he was halted mid-run-up by Prabhsimran, who alerted the umpire to a distraction near the sightscreen.

The camera soon revealed the cause: a cameraman, seemingly unaware of the game situation, briskly walked near the white backdrop with his headphones on. The unexpected movement caused a clear disturbance, and fans on social media were quick to pick up on the incident, calling out the interruption.
