The floodlights stopped working momentarily in the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium at Hyderabad on Monday night.
The incident happened at the start of the 13th over when SRH were 140/2 with Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen out in the middle for the home side.
Just as Sandeep Sharma had marked his run up and was ready to bowl to Klaasen, the lights went out to bring the match to a halt.

SRH lost Ishan Kishan soon after, after a well made 91 off 44 balls.
