00:00You know that feeling when you get excited for a match and get excited and get excited?

00:05Not on these stadiums.

00:06Rain is literally a nightmare for cricket.

00:09But these 5 stadiums are so insanely built that they can even challenge the rain.

00:14Let's start with the Chindiswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

00:17This has what it's called a sub-air system.

00:20Which means they literally suck water out of the ground with a vacuum.

00:24Heavy rain, they just pull out their giant sponges called the Super Soppers and bust.

00:29Done in 10 minutes.

00:30Can you believe it?

00:31Just 10 minutes.

00:32Then, there's Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

00:34Rain used to be a nightmare for this place.

00:37But now, 20 minutes after the rain and the players are back on track.

00:41This is really amazing.

00:42But here's where it gets wild.

00:44Melbourne's Docklet Stadium have a whole retractable room.

00:47Like the whole thing closes.

00:49Rain, storms, nothing really matters.

00:52It's all under control here.

00:54Next up, we have the Lords in London, the home of cricket.

00:57They have got hover covers and this thing can literally float.

01:00So, 20 minutes you do not have to struggle and it's so easy to play again.

01:04Lastly, Kolombos are Premadasa Stadium.

01:07Their ground staff is so efficient that they can get the ground ready before you can finish your half-time snack.

01:12Rain is just an inconvenience but never cancellation here.

01:16The game we loved so much was at the mercy of weather.

01:19But not anymore because our engineers have had it all figured out.

01:23And honestly, it's beautiful.
