The IPL 2025 clash between Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings at Eden Gardens was called off after a fierce thunderstorm caused chaos. Former cricketer Matthew Hayden described the scene as "absolute chaos," witnessing six ground staff members being lifted into the air while trying to secure covers against 60-70 km/h winds. With no proper weights to anchor them, the covers blew into the stands. The game had barely started, with KKR at 7/0 after one over, before heavy rain and dust storms halted play. The dramatic scenes were broadcast live, adding to a wild night in Kolkata. (PC: The Indian Express)
