India’s star batter, Virat Kohli, was left in shock after a DRS review overturned the on-field decision during the second ODI against England at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack on Sunday (February 9). Chasing a target of 305, Kohli who was looking to get some runs at the crease was dismissed, when England’s spinner, Adil Rashid, tossed up a delivery enticingly. Attempting a cover drive, Kohli got a faint outside edge, with the ball going into the wicketkeeper’s gloves. The on-field umpire initially ruled it ‘not out,’ but England’s wicketkeeper, Phil Salt, was confident and urged captain Jos Buttler to take the review without hesitation.

As the replays played on the big screen, confirming the edge, Kohli stood in disbelief, struggling to process the decision that sent him back to the pavilion. Check his reaction below...

Earlier, in a major embarrassment for the BCCI, a floodlight failure interrupted play in the second ODI between India and England for about 35 minutes at the Barabati Stadium. India were cruising at 48 for no loss in 6.1 overs in a chase of 305 when one of the eight floodlights near the clock tower failed, forcing players out of field.

The issue first surfaced around 6:15pm when some floodlights briefly went off but the power supply was restored as England pacer Saqib Mahmood was about to bowl to Rohit Sharma.

However, moments later, the lights went out completely, leaving the players frustrated.

"The generator attached with the floodlight malfunctioned, so the lights were off on that particular stand behind the clock tower. We got the back-up generator on. It took time to change the connection from one generator to the other, which caused the delay," the official added.

Skipper Rohit Sharma, looking in sublime touch, was batting on 29 off 18 balls, having struck three sixes and a four, while Shubman Gill was on 17 off 19 balls with three boundaries. Players waited for five minutes before leaving the field, while the packed 45,000-strong crowd turned the moment into a spectacle, grooving to blaring music.
