It was incorporated as part of the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) green initiative to encourage environmental sustainability.
For each dot ball bowled in the IPL 2023 playoffs, the Indian cricket board has decided to plant 500 trees.
Jay Shah, who is the BCCI secretary, made the announcement on Twitter, also adding that the board has already added 42,000 saplings courtesy the 84 dot balls bowled in the GTvs CSK clash.
Shah further said that it is now in the bowler's hands to keep adding to the number of trees to be planted.
