The second Check match between India and Australia in Adelaide noticed the lights exit on two events resulting in disappointment for each gamers and followers. Whereas India quick bowler Harshit Rana’s response to the incident has already gone viral, skilled Australia spinner Nathan Lyon revealed the precise cause behind the occasions. Throughout Day 1 of the third Check match in Brisbane, Lyon revealed that he needed the lights to be on within the coaching pitches and requested the sunshine coordinator to activate the lights for him. Nonetheless, the coordinator mistakenly hit the unsuitable button and the lights for the principle floor have been turned off.

“Yes, I couldn’t believe that. I was with our assistant coach sitting out there in the dark. I asked the security guy if he could switch on the lights in the middle it would be great. And in the next minute, it (the whole ground) went off. And I said to Boroughs (assistant coach) ‘he hit the wrong switch’. He said ‘nah’ and then we sat in the dark for 15 minutes in nets waiting to take a hit,” Lyon defined.
The Australian openers, particularly native hero Usman Khawaja, displayed a whole lot of grit as they confidently negotiated Jasprit Bumrah’s opening spell to succeed in 28 with out loss towards India throughout the rain-affected first session of the third Check at Gabba in Brisbane on Saturday.
Solely 13.2 overs of play have been attainable throughout the first session, because the climate forecast predicts extra interruptions all through the sport.
Bumrah (0/8 in 6 overs) bowled his least potent opening spell of the collection to this point.
