India vs Sri Lanka 1st T20I: Use Of Hair Dryer On Damp Pitch In Guwahati Evokes Funny Reactions From Fans
Monday, January 6, 2020 IST
The groundsmen even turned to a hair dryer and a steam iron in a desperate attempt to save the game.
The first Twenty20 International between India and Sri Lanka was called off without a ball being bowled as damp patches on the pitch refused to dry up at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday. Soon after Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bowl, it started raining. It stopped raining after a while but the start of play was delayed. As the ground staff managed to dry the outfield, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant walked out to inspect the pitch. The Indian skipper then pointed out that some water had seeped onto the pitch and there were some damp patches. Therefore, a light roller and a vacuum dryer were employed for pitch repair. And then, a hair dryer and a steam iron were being used as the damp patch on the surface refused to budge.
Soon, Twitter was flooded with funny reactions from fans.
