'JEALOUS' Pakistan Fans Play Dirty Tricks Over Cuttack's Floodlight Debacle During 2nd ODI Between India-England

In what can be labelled as an embarrassing moment, the floodlights at the Cuttack stadium went off for a while during Sunday's second ODI game between India and England. The moment that took place has invited a lot of flak for the Board of Control of Cricket in India. The incident happened during the second innings when India were batting. It was the seventh over when it happened and that was a point when India openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill has got the side off to a good start. All the lights did not go off at once. First, one of the floodlights suddenly went off, leaving the players from both teams frustrated. The on-field umpires eventually asked them to leave the ground as the visibility was low and no one wanted to risk injuries.

Meanwhile, in Pakistan, something similar happened when international cricket returned in Lahore's Gaddafi. During the opening game of tri-nation series, New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra was hit on the face while attempting to take a catch. He could not spot the ball in the floodlights there. The NZ allrounder left the ground immediately. PCB has been facing the heat for it and that is exactly why these Pakistani fans are now trying to play dirty tricks and get back at their Indian counterparts.
