DEAR FRIENDS FROM THE MEDIA…..

YESTERDAY THE 17TH MAY 2017 KKR VS SRH…

We are sure all of you were the witness to the continuous heavy rains which lasted more than 3 hours in total and it was  threatening the match could have been a washout.

The state of the art subair system at Chinnaswamy stadium was on the minute it started raining, continuously evacuating water from the playing surface. The system kept the outfield in playable conditions throughout, preventing puddling of water anywhere on the surface.

As a result of which there was no scope for the water stagnation anywhere in the outfield when the SubAir system is functioning.

Nearly 2 lakh litres of water was evacuated from the field last night.

The outfield was in playable condition exactly 15-20 mins after rain stopped.

All the events of last night were observed by all the stake holders including well known personalities, who have stated that it would be fantastic for world cricket if this technology is adopted by every stadium in the world. Several viewers claimed that the field was as good as new, bereft of the symptoms generally associated with a wet outfield.

We KSCA Thank you and we look forward for all your continued support & co-operation for all the KSCA future initiatives too….request you give widely publicity about this initative entire rain water will be re-used and the spectators were not disappointed and top it all crucial eliminator match of the IPL tournament went on….
