India Captain Shubman Gill Installs Rs 3 Lakh Water Purifier in Indore Before ODI Decider

A lethal Bhagirathpura pipeline leak has put Indore’s water safety under scrutiny.

Overview

  • Reports citing NDTV say the high-end device can re-filter RO-treated and packaged water and has been set up in Gill’s hotel room.
  • India’s media manager declined to say whether the step relates to recent contaminated-water deaths or is a routine precaution.
  • Investigations traced the Indore outbreak to a treated-water pipeline on the Narmada supply that allowed sewage to enter the drinking network, with more than 1,400 people affected.
  • The state acknowledged 15 deaths before the High Court and has provided compensation to 21 families, while some outlets report a higher toll.
  • The series is level at 1–1 heading into Sunday’s decider at Holkar Stadium, with the team lodged at a five-star hotel that supplies RO and bottled water.
