The first T20I between India and Sri Lanka was called off due to rain followed by a damp pitch on Sunday at the Baraspara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati without a ball being bowled. But what followed next was embarrassing for the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI), which is considered the richest board in the world.
On Sunday, groundsmen were spotted using hair-dryers to dry the pitch which did not go down well with fans. The episode gave Pakistani fans an opportunity to mock and ridicule Indians on social media. A certain image where the Indians are using hair-dryers and Pakistan using helicopter instantly went viral as Pakistani fans started reacting.
Here are some of the reactions:

Indians simply do not trust their Pilots..
They think “China ka dryer” is far better than their “Do numbri Pilots”..😂#INDVSL pic.twitter.com/jz74BtZGU2

🇵🇰 🇮🇳 Can we gift our neighbours @BCCI one of these helicopters to dry their cricket grounds instead of using hairdryers? @TheRealPCB @ImranKhanPTI @peaceforchange #INDvSL pic.twitter.com/miQJ5Wtyio

The hair dryer and steam iron are being used now to dry the pitch. Sri Lanka should have taken R Premadasa stadium rain covers to India 🇱🇰🏏 #INDvsSL pic.twitter.com/tQxR50axPL

The second T20I will be played tomorrow at the Holkar Stadium in Madhya Pradesh. It will be the first game of the New year for both the teams.
