Twitter reacts to groundsmen using Hair Dryer and Steam Iron to dry pitch in first T20I
Unfortunately, the first India-Sri Lanka T20I has been called off due to rain. Indian fans who were waiting eagerly for the first game of the year were left disappointed as the poor drainage facility in Guhawati heaped more misery on the fans. Fans on Twitter expressed their displeasure on the same.
Just embarrassing!
Shameful they say they have best technology but they don’t know how to cover the ground without get wet. Still SL grounds mans are better than any other in the world. Play resumes within 15 minutes after stop the rain when matches are played in Sri Lanka #INDvSL

Reverse progression!
15 years ago, against Sri Lanka, Assam Cricket Association brought a helicopter to prepare the ground after rain. It was Nehru Stadium though. 15 years since, we are seeing presser being used. Reverse progression. #INDvSL

The Big Question
Poor facilities at #Guwahati . how the hell did water leak onto the pitch. which era is this? #INDvSL @BCCI @SGanguly99

Water seeping under the covers making the pitch damp? This is ridiculous @BCCI. Please keep marches only in the main centres! Guwahati not good enough! #INDvSL

That's actually bizarre
Never seen a more bizarre sight than a hair-dryer used to dry a wet pitch. #INDvSL
