Cape Town: In South Africa, there was not enough water on the pitch. These conditions were made due to drought. The water problem in the ground and around it can be estimated from the fact that the spectators sitting in the stadium were seen taking cold drinks instead of water despite the heavy heat. Earlier, when the pitch was made, the field workers had to face water crisis and to prepare the pitch for the ground staff, only 87 liters of water was allowed to be consumed in one day. For this reason, the grass was not left on the pitch and it was believed that pitch can now help the spinners.

Now the news is that due to this the players have been banned from taking bath. The first Test match in Cape Town between South Africa and India has played onFriday. But due to the heat the water problem has arisen and players have been given only two minutes to take bath so that water can be saved. South Africa's CapeTown city is surrounded by sea on both sides, but due to lack of rain there is a shortage of drinking water in the entire city .The administration has also made provision for action against those who have consumed excess water to deal with the problem. The administration has set a two-minute time for the Indian players as well as the South African players to take a bath, so that the excess water cannot be consumed. Players need to take bath after exercising and after the match is over.
