The incident took place at a hotel in Visakhapatnam, where the team was staying ahead of their next match. According to reports, the players had just finished dinner when a few of them suddenly noticed a rat near their table. The unexpected sight caused chaos in the dining area — some players screamed and jumped onto chairs to avoid the rodent, while others burst into laughter.
Hotel staff rushed to catch the rat, but it kept running around, adding to the confusion and panic. The scene quickly became a mix of shock and amusement for everyone present.
Later, Cricket Australia shared a light-hearted video on social media, where players recounted the incident humorously. They revealed that the rat appeared just as they were about to leave after finishing dinner.
While the team took it in good spirits and laughed off the episode, the incident has raised questions about hygiene and cleanliness standards at the hotel hosting the players during the prestigious tournament.
