The fourth T20I between India and South Africa in Lucknow was called off due to dense fog. The match never started as visibility stayed poor all evening. Umpires inspected the ground several times before abandoning the game. The decision has raised serious questions about planning by cricket authorities. Winter fog is common in north India, especially in December. Experts say hosting a night match in Lucknow was a clear mistake. The washout reduced India’s preparation ahead of the T20 World Cup. Fans and former players have demanded accountability for repeated scheduling errors in Indian cricket. (PC: HT)
