Lyon's Light Mishap Adds Humor to Test Series

During the second Test match between India and Australia in Adelaide, the floodlights unexpectedly went out twice, causing a 15-minute delay. This unusual incident was later attributed to Nathan Lyon, who admitted his request to have the practice nets lit led to the main ground lights being accidentally turned off by a security guard. Lyon was preparing as a potential nightwatchman and requested lighting for practice, which inadvertently triggered the stadium blackout. Despite the confusion, Australia won the match by ten wickets, leveling the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at 1-1. The lighting mishap became a humorous anecdote, with commentators and players jesting about the blame. Following this event, the start of the third Test faced its own challenges as it was washed out by rain after only 13.2 overs.
