The Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh stadium in Raipur faces a blackout ahead of the India vs. Australia T20 match as an unpaid electricity bill of ₹3.16 crore looms large. The bill, pending since 2009, led to the disconnection of the stadium's power 5 years ago. While a temporary connection covers the gallery, floodlights will rely on generators. Attempts to upgrade the connection's capacity to 1 thousand KV are underway. The Chhattisgarh State Cricket Association and Public Works Department deflect blame for the unpaid bill, leaving the stadium in a precarious situation ahead of the crucial encounter.
