IND vs NZ: The three-match ODI series being played between India and New Zealand is currently tied at 1-1. Now the decisive match of the series will be played on January 18 at Holkar Stadium in Indore. Both the teams have reached Indore and have started preparations for this ‘do or die’ match. Meanwhile, an unusual but important caution related to the Indian camp is in the headlines.
Shubman Gill’s ‘special’ machine becomes topic of discussion
According to media reports, Indian captain Shubman Gill has installed a state-of-the-art water purification machine worth about ₹3 lakh in his hotel room in Indore. This machine is also capable of repurifying bottled and RO water. Interestingly, the five-star hotel where the team is staying has strict water quality standards. Despite this, Gill did not take any risk.
Why was this precautionary decision taken?
In recent times, Indore has been in the news at the national level due to news related to water pollution. In such a situation, no player of Team India wants to take the risk of falling ill before the decisive match of IND vs NZ. This personal arrangement by Shubman Gill reflects the high-level alert and professional approach of the team.
There will be a big test on the field too
Amidst this vigilance outside the field, the competition on the field is going to be very exciting. India have an excellent record at the Holkar Stadium—India have won all 7 ODIs played here. In this decisive match of IND vs NZ, all eyes will now be on Shubman Gill to see whether he is able to convert his caution into a brilliant performance or not.
