American novelist Phillip Roth rightly said, “Satire is a moral outrage transformed into comic art,”. This quote resonates perfectly with the situation at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack, where a satirical Odia song was played during a disgraceful incident.
In this context, a viral video is making rounds on social media, that shows the DJ at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack playing the satirical Odia song “Chhi Chhi Re Nani Chhi” during a floodlight malfunction in the second ODI between India and England February 9, 2025.

The floodlight malfunction occurred in the seventh over of India’s chase of 305 runs, when one of the floodlight towers began flickering before shutting down completely. Technicians worked frantically to restore the lights, causing a 35-minute pause in play. The match eventually resumed, with India securing a four-wicket victory.
