The Wankhede Stadium was experiencing major power outages at the moment, and as a result, the DRS service was unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>Even the coin toss was delayed due to a malfunction with one of the light towers.<\/p>\n<p>According to commentators during the broadcast, the issue was fixed well before end of the second over.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, spectators also took to Twitter to express their disappointment with the circumstance.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Unlucky for Devon Conway, the ball was missing leg stump.
