'Beer Snake' Prankster Spent 2.33 lakhs to Rile Up Mohammed Siraj

It is reported that the beer snake that was used during the Adelaide Test cost a lot of money. The players, particularly Mohammed Siraj and Marnus Labuschagne, were impacted by this costly joke, which led to a great deal of drama during the day/night Test at the Adelaide Oval. A lot of money was invested in the beer stacks. According to reports, the man paid 2.33 lakhs for the notorious "beer snake."

Throughout the pink-ball Test, Mohammed Siraj was in overdrive and displayed a bit too much anger. It reached its zenith when the India pacer made an angry gesture after removing Head for 140. Before the two declared a truce and let the past go, the situation worsened.

But the day before, when Marnus Labuschagne abruptly pulled out, forcing the pacemaker to halt in his delivery stride, Siraj lost his temper for the first time. As Labuschagne explained, a furious Siraj flung the ball back. A man with a 'beer snake' was passing close behind the sight screen, and just as Siraj was about to throw the ball, Marnus had to pull back.

The fan, who was merely having a little fun, turned out to be Lachie Burtt. Additionally, it was disclosed that Burtt had paid $2750 in Australian dollars for the beer snake prank, which is equivalent to 2.33 lakhs in Indian rupees. He had spent an astounding amount as he collected 250 empty cups in order to build the snake. Without a doubt, everyone had to pay a price for the practical joke. 

Seven pals, including Burtt, attended and worked for hours to get the snake moving. The prank was costly because each of the available beers, Hahn, cost eleven bucks. In Australia, the 'beer snake' is frequently seen during cricket matches. The 21-year-old and his seven pals may have been having a good time at the time, but it also had an impact on the game because the players were engaged in a lengthy day of Test cricket. Ultimately, in an interview with 9News, Burtt expressed regret for his behaviour during the game.

Brutt in an interview said, "I didn't really have time to stop and think what I was doing right now and what the effects were going to be because of it. I did feel a bit silly, it wasn't the right thing … sorry Marnus."
