Incident happened in a match between New South Wales and South Australia.
One of the best spinners produced by Australia, Nathan Lyon was seen trying his best to find the ball in bushes beyond the boundary line during a Sheffield Shield match.
As New South Wales and South Australia faced off in a cricket match, the ball became lost in the bushes outside the stadium.
Lyon was seen in a popular video looking for the missing ball in the bushes. He did discover a ball, but it was white (used in limited-overs cricket) rather than red (used in first-class cricket).
The ball was roughly 30 overs old and was lost when a batsman smashed it outside the stadium. Lyon and a few teammates started seeking for the ball, but they couldn't find it.
Lyon and his teammates were eventually joined by ground staff in the quest for the ball. After a thorough search, the crew discovered the misplaced ball.
The episode sparked a laugh riot on social media, with some fans even comparing it to gully cricket, where such incidents are common.
