Cricket Star's Lakh-Rupee Water Purifier Amidst Indore Crisis
18 Jan
Summary
- Shubman Gill brought a 3 lakh rupee water purifier to his hotel room.
- The purifier was a response to a deadly water contamination outbreak.
- Fifteen deaths occurred in Indore due to contaminated drinking water.

India's ODI captain, Shubman Gill, made a notable entrance in Indore for the series-deciding third match, bringing a water purification machine valued at approximately 3 lakh rupees. This expensive device was reportedly installed in his hotel room.
The cricketer's decision stemmed from a dire water contamination outbreak in the city's Bhagirathpura area. This crisis led to a serious vomiting and diarrhea outbreak, tragically causing 15 fatalities among residents who consumed the contaminated water.
Reports suggest the advanced purifier can fully re-process RO and packaged bottled water, though hotel staff had limited details on its specific technology. The series against New Zealand was tied at 1-1 heading into this pivotal final encounter.
