IPL 2024: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium Set To Enter The League-hosting Fold
Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium: With Rishabh Pant’s return to competitive cricket being in the foreground of the build-up in the Delhi Capitals' clash with Punjab Kings on Saturday afternoon, a significant development in the background is the inclusion of Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium as the 36th venue of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The stadium, which comes under the ambit of the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA), is named after Yadavindra Singh, the ninth and last ruling Maharaja of Patiala who played just one Test match for India in 1934 and went on to be India’s ambassador to Italy and the Netherlands.
The 33,000-seater stadium, comprising all the modern facilities and top-class infrastructure, is a 30-minute drive from the Chandigarh bus stand in Sector 17. Work on it began in 2017 and it has hosted domestic matches since 2021.
