The '''Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground''' is a [[cricket]] ground located in the city of [[Nagpur]].<ref>{{cite web |title=VCA Ground |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/ground/58344.html |publisher=ESPNcricinfo|date=17 June 2011 |access-date=17 June 2011 }}</ref>

The ground is known as the VCA Ground and belongs to the [[Central Zone cricket team|Central Zone]]. The first match was played here in October 1969. As of 19 August 2017, it has hosted nine Tests and 14 ODIs.

It has been replaced by a new stadium called [[Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium]] as an international cricket stadium. It continues to be used by the [[Vidarbha cricket team|Vidarbha]] and [[Uttar Pradesh cricket team]]s.

[[Sunil Gavaskar]] scored his only one day century here against New Zealand in the [[1987 Reliance World Cup]].

In 1995, during the 5th ODI between India and New Zealand, a wall in the East Stand collapsed, killing 9 people and injuring 70 others.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/new-zealand-in-india-2016/top-stories/20-years-after-wall-collapsed-VCA-moved-on/articleshow/49934198.cms |title=20 years after wall collapsed, VCA moved on |work=TOI (Times of India) |access-date=6 January 2020}}</ref>

==History==

The tenth Test venue in the country, the [[Vidarbha Cricket Association]]-managed ground, probably the only international venue where you can walk straight into the ground from the road, has always made headlines for various reasons.

[[Chetan Sharma]] takes the first [[Cricket World Cup]] [[Hat-trick (cricket)|hat-trick]] in history, with the wickets of [[Ken Rutherford (cricketer)|Ken Rutherford]], [[Ian Smith (New Zealand cricketer)|Ian Smith]] and [[Ewen Chatfield]] in [[Nagpur]]. All three were bowled.<ref>[http://uk.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/WC87/GROUP-A/NZ_IND_WC87_ODI24_31OCT1987.html India vs New Zealand]</ref>

[[Sunil Gavaskar]] got his only one-day, and World Cup, century here when India won by a huge margin against New Zealand in their final league encounter of the 1987 [[Reliance World Cup]]. This is the second best ground for [[Sachin Tendulkar]] when it comes to centuries.
[[Sachin Tendulkar]] has three here after four in [[Chepauk]].

It was a dark hour when in 1995, during the fifth game of the India-New Zealand ODI series, the brickwall at the East stand collapsed and nine people died.

As for the pitch, previously, it was just like any other docile pitch, till the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]]-appointed pitch committee recommended the re-laying of the wicket in 1999. It took a while for the wicket to assume the true shape that it was designed to.

Also the unique thing about this wicket is the 30-inch deep double-brick layer normally there is a 15-inch brick layer – that facilitates in the extra pace and bounce. Surely, that was the a case when Australia conquered the 'final frontier' as they beat India handsomely in the third Test to win the [[Border-Gavaskar Trophy]].

The local critics were up-in-arms at how the curator ignored the home team's cause and prepared a fast wicket that helped the opposition fast bowlers. But the curator insisted that he had simply followed the instructions of the pitch panel. Today [[Nagpur]] is one of the only grounds to assist genuine fast bowlers in pace and movement and several first-class games in the 2004/05 season ended within three days as the medium-pacers reaped rich rewards.
