Eden power snag sparks blame game

A blame game started on Sunday night between the Cricket Association of Bengal and the city’s private power utility CESC for the power snag at the Eden Gardens which halted the day-night Indian Premier League match in Kolkata for 31 minutes. The problem began when Kolkata Knight Riders were on 89 for 5 in 16.2 overs, still needing 22 runs from the same number of balls to overhaul the Deccan Chargers’ total, as lights at two of the four towers went off, plunging the stadium to semi-darkness and forcing the players to come out of the ground.

CAB president Prasun Mukherjee held the CESC responsible, saying the light partially went off due to a grid failure at the power supply company’s BBD Bag sub-station.
