Rain delays start of Bengaluru Test

The M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru

For people asking why the entire outfield is not under covers?

The M Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru boasts of the state-of-the-art SubAir drainage system, which automatically kicks into action the minute it starts raining, thereby not allowing any buildup of water on the outfield.

It quickly removes standing water (36 times faster than drainage by gravity!) virtually eliminating the need for extended game delays or cancellations due to wet outfield conditions.

The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), after vigorous research and technical evaluation, decided to install the next-generation subsurface aeration and vacuum-powered drainage system from SubAir, USA at Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2017, making it the first ever installation of SubAir Systems for cricket stadiums worldwide.

The SubAir system ensures that play resumes within 45 minutes once it stops raining.
