Eden Gardens has a bad reputation as time and again the stadium has floodlight failures and have disappointed thousands of fans. Today, the match stopped for at least 10 minutes in Kolkata because of the same reason. The Twitterati went mad and flooded the internet by thousands of hilarious tweets.

Here are some of the best ones:

When players started walking off!

What's happening out there ... Players are leaving ....
— Praneeth Kumar (@gilly_praneeth)

Has it become a tradition?

Eden garden mein ek match light off hona hi hai..
— diptarkobiswas (@roondip)

For such a legendary ground such frequent floodlight failures are becoming nuance.
— Vinay (@vinay24k)

One of those obvious reasons!

Ye bijli ka bill nhi bhara kya 😀
— Lost_soul_kaju_ (@HKomlika)

Cheap Shot!

Lights gone out? Fkn budget premier league.. PSL is the real shizz.
— Rishi ❤️ (@urstrulyjak)

again the floodlights went off... Not at all a good sign for sports culture of the city
— Biswanath Kar (@bishu_pagla)

And some political shots!!

Bc Bangladesh power outsourcing chalu ha kya eden garden se jo lights out
— Spike (@SpikeLevi)

Despair, Fury, Rage!

Kya ghatiya stadium hai pehle drs me internet chala gya aur ab light chali gyi
— TR (@pirate1710)

Some people have their priorities sorted!

Fix this problem asap I don’t want to miss a single ball of the Mumbai game man
— Umzi (@MesutOzil2021)

And of course, the effect on the teams!

The little light break has disturbed the momentum
