Chinnaswamy is one of the best stadiums in the world in terms of water drainage. M Chinnaswamy Stadium (Image Credit- Twitter Cricket is returning to the historic M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Let us tell you that the first match of the three-match Test series starting between India and New Zealand will be played here from October 16. However, what is worrying for the fans is that it is raining in the stadium just a day before the start of the match. Apart from this, there is a possibility of rain on all days of the game. In such a situation, the question coming in the minds of the fans is whether the match will take place in the stadium or not? But for your information, let us tell you that Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium has the best excellent drainage facility among all the stadiums in the country. This facility present in the stadium is known as ‘Subair System’. Let us tell you how it works: Which drainage system is used in M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru? Let us tell you that with the help of Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) subair system, the stadium is able to be always ready, the operation of which is completely digital. Here various methods are used for effective utilization of resources with changing weather conditions. Talking about this subair system, it works with sand as the main base of the ground on the field. As a result, the traditional red-soil in the coveted area has been replaced with sand to smooth the functioning of the drainage infrastructure. Unlike traditional soil, sand does not hold water. Because of this, not much water is seen on this ground after heavy rains and the outfield also does not get very wet. Apart from this, the rain water drain present in the stadium is run by a 200-horsepower machine, which is enough to remove 10,000 liters of water per minute. This world class operation greatly helps in getting the outfield ready for play within minutes even after heavy rain. Due to this system present in the stadium, many matches taking place here have been saved from being cancelled. KSCA had decided to install this system in the year 2015 after the India vs South Africa match was canceled due to rain for 1 day. No matter how much rain happens after the formation of this system, if the rain stops then the game can be restarted on the field in less than half an hour.
