Cricket is a game of uncertainty. No one can say what will happen in the next moment. During an ODI match between England and the West Indies, an unusual event caught cricket viewers' attention.

For which, the match needed to pause for a while; players presented on the field also had no clue about the incident, a helpless moment for both cricketers and umpires on the field.

The West Indies currently is on tour to England for a limited-overs series. England is already in the driving seat, having clinched 2 out of 3 ODIs already, and the third match is now underway.

A video from England vs. West Indies goes viral on the internet. The video is from the ongoing series, but it is not mentioned from which match the footage has been taken. From the footage we can see Adil Rashid delivered an out-of-the-off-stump delivery to Gudakesh Motie. 

A pegion took the centre of the stage during ENG vs WI ODI 

The left-handed batter transferred his weight to his back foot to punch the ball towards the points region. After making the connection with the bat, the ball was racing towards the boundary line. Between the boundary line and the 30-yard circle, there was a group of pigeons on the field, and the ball went through between the pigeons. Which caused the ball to slow down, and England fielder Matthew Potts collected the ball with ease. 

Because of the running ball, all the pigeons flew away except only one. Potts approached the left-out bird, and when he tried to hold it gently with his hand, the pigeon flew away immediately.
