'60,000 litres of water used everyday during IPL'

March 31, 2013 19:52

IPL organisers should take an appropriate decision on holding the tournament in Maharashtra, given the prevalent drought in the state, Leader of Opposition in state Legislative Council Vinod Tawde said today.

"As per my knowledge, 60,000 litres of water would be used to maintain a cricket ground every day. Thus, during the entire season of IPL matches spread over 36 days (from April 9-May 15 in Maharashtra), 21.6 lakh litre water will be used for a single ground," Tawde said in a letter to IPL Commissioner Rajeev Shukla.
