Dharamsala’s picturesque cricket stadium becomes the first in India to adopt SISGrass technology. This innovative system blends natural and artificial grass, resulting in a more durable and safer playing surface.
SISGrass uses a special machine to stitch in 5% polymer fibers with natural turf. This approach, already successful in England’s County grounds like Lord’s and Edgbaston, promises to extend pitch life, reduce workload for groundsmen, and ensure consistent bounce.
The technology arrives just in time, as the HPCA Stadium outfield faced criticism during the 2023 World Cup. SISGrass will be on display during the IPL 2024 with Punjab Kings hosting two home matches there.
Ahmedabad and Mumbai brace themselves! The SISGrass revolution heads westward, aiming to transform pitches for both practice and matches in these major cricket hubs.
SISGrass is a boon for modern cricket, particularly T20, where tight schedules leave little time for pitch preparation. Shorter formats like T20 cricket demand quick pitch prep. SISGrass steps up to the challenge! This innovative tech creates ultra-durable surfaces that can be prepared rapidly, perfect for the fast-paced world of T20.
