Rohit Sharma Surpasses Chris Gayle in ODI Sixes as Floodlight Failure Halts India-England Clash

India's chase of 305 in the second ODI was interrupted by a 35-minute floodlight failure, raising concerns over stadium infrastructure.

Rohit Sharma hit three sixes early in his innings, surpassing Chris Gayle to become the second-highest six-hitter in ODI history, with only Shahid Afridi ahead of him.
India were at 48/0 in 6.1 overs, with Rohit Sharma on 29 and Shubman Gill on 17, when play was paused due to a floodlight failure at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
The floodlight issue caused a 35-minute delay, attributed to a generator malfunction, during which fans lit up the stadium with phone flashlights.
England posted a total of 304, with Joe Root (69), Ben Duckett (65), and Liam Livingstone (41) contributing key runs, while Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets for India.
The incident raised concerns about the preparedness of the Barabati Stadium, which was hosting its first ODI in over four years, as logistical issues also led to crowd management problems.
