Australian batsmen Marnus Labuschagne and Nathan McSweeney were at the crease when the lights went out twice in the 18th over.
Indian bowler Harshit Rana became frustrated the second time it happened as the crowd started turning on their phone lights.
“Someone’s fallen asleep!” Fox Cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle exclaimed as the lights went off for the first time.
“They’ve run out of electricity in Adelaide; it was pretty hot today!” Mark Waugh responded.
“I don’t know if those around South Australia need to turn the air conditioners off, or stop running the kettle – but hopefully we’re okay from here on in,” Mark Howard said.
“Someone hasn’t paid their bills here,” David Warner joked.
After a few minutes the floodlights turned back on and play resumed with Australia at 1-38 in response to India’s first innings total of 180.
Play was extended by three minutes due to the incidents.
