Cricket fans were left in shock as an unexpected partial blackout disrupted the high-voltage clash between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. The high-stakes encounter came to an abrupt halt when three of the stadium’s floodlights malfunctioned, plunging sections of the ground into darkness and forcing players off the field.

The tense match took a bizarre turn just as Delhi Capitals’ skipper Shreyas Iyer walked in to bat after the early dismissal of Priyansh Arya in the 10th over. What started as a minor flicker quickly escalated—one floodlight failed, followed by two more, leaving the umpires with no choice but to suspend play. Players, visibly frustrated, exited the field as officials scrambled to assess the situation.
