Know how the ‘Subair System’ at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium helps in getting the match started as soon as possible after heavy rains?

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.

IND vs NZ: Virat Kohli will achieve this special achievement after scoring 53 runs in Bengaluru Test

Virat Kohli (Photo Source: Indian team’s star batsman Virat Kohli has not been able to play big innings in Test cricket for some time. Fans are expecting a big innings from Kohli in the three-match Test series against New Zealand. Virat is struggling to score runs in all three formats. In the last eight innings, only one half-century has come from his bat. He also imposed that against South Africa in 2023. In the first match between India and New Zealand starting from October 16, Virat Kohli will have a chance to complete nine thousand runs in the Test format. Virat is just a few steps away from becoming the batsman to score 9,000 runs in Test cricket. Virat Kohli needs 53 runs to complete nine thousand runs in the first Test against New Zealand starting from October 16 at Chinnaswamy Stadium. If he succeeds in doing so, he will become the fourth Indian batsman to score more than nine thousand runs in Tests. Before Virat, Sachin, Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar had done this feat. He will also become the 18th batsman to score nine thousand or more runs in Tests. Virat Kohli has scored seven double centuries in Test cricket. Former Indian captain Virat Kohli has so far scored 8947 runs in his Test career while playing 115 matches, which includes 29 centuries and seven double centuries. He has also scored 30 half-centuries. His best score is 254. India will tour Australia after the three-match home Test series. Where a series of five test matches will be played between the two teams. In such a situation, it will be very important for Virat to be in form during the Australia tour. Before the start of the New Zealand series, Indian cricket team coach Gautam Gambhir has praised Virat Kohli and said that his hunger for runs remains the same as before and even after more than a decade at the top of the game, he continues to perform well with the bat. His desire to score runs has not diminished.
