On Sunday, February 9, India locked horns against England at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. International cricket returns to Odisha after a long time, and the last time the two teams locked horns against each other at this venue was in 2017 when MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh scripted centuries. 

Talking about the ongoing match, the fans turned up in thousands as they wanted to see their favourite stars. England won the toss and opted to bat first in the scorching heat. Talking about heat, the players were literally sweating hard on the field as heat caused problems in the 2nd ODI. 

However, a video has gone viral on the internet where the Cuttack ground staff mist sprayed in the stands to provide a sigh of relief for the fans. One of the cons of the Barabati stadium is that it doesn't have a shed for the fans to protect them from the sun. Thus, the spectators were troubled by the heat and amid this, the unique approach by Cuttack Stadium management won fans' hearts. Watch the incident. 

Commentators Opt For Electrolytes Due To Heat

Even the commentators were troubled by the heat at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack as Parthiv Patel and Suresh Raina, who are the match-presenters for the 2nd ODI, had revealed that they took ORS to save themselves from dehydration because of the scorching heat.

Further, visuals also went viral on the internet where fans were sweating profusely and the batters were also finding it difficult to bat with the heat. Talking about the ongoing match, England are 168/2 after 29.3 overs.
