The '''Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium''' is a [[cricket]] stadium in [[Hyderabad]], [[Telangana]], India. Located in the eastern suburb of [[Uppal, Hyderabad|Uppal]], it has a capacity of 40,000 and extends across {{convert|16|acre|m2}} of land. It serves as the home ground for the [[Hyderabad Cricket Association]] and the [[Indian Premier League]] team [[Sunrisers Hyderabad]]. As of 3 March 2019, it has hosted 5 Tests, 6 ODIs and 2 T20Is. This stadium hosted the opener and final of [[2017 Indian Premier League]], and also the final of [[2019 Indian Premier League]].
==History==
{{see also|List of international cricket centuries at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium}}
HCA's previous home ground was the [[Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium]] in the Fateh Maidan sports complex at [[Basheerbagh]] in central Hyderabad. The ground belonged to the Sports Authority of Telangana State and HCA had limited operating autonomy over this ground.
Moreover, due to its smaller size, it soon came to be known as a high-scoring ground and so [[Hyderabad, Telangana|Hyderabad]] was not considered for many high-profile cricket matches in India.
In 2003, the proposal for a new stadium was submitted by HCA to the government of erstwhile [[Andhra Pradesh]], then headed by [[N. Chandrababu Naidu]]. The proposal was quickly cleared and HCA was allocated a budget for the same. The government also identified a large piece of land suitable for the project at [[Uppal Kalan|Uppal]].
Most of the funding for the project came after an open auction of the stadium's title was held. [[Visaka Industries]] Limited won the auction with a bid price of ₹65,00,00,000. A sum of ₹43,00,00,000 was paid in advance and the stadium was named as '''Visakha International Cricket Stadium''' in 2004.
By 2005 when most of the stadium was built, it was ready to host its first [[One Day International|ODI Match]] between [[Indian Cricket Team|India]] and [[South African Cricket Team|South Africa]]. However, [[Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy]] the former [[Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh]](before separation of [[Telangana]]) decided to change the name of the stadium to '''Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium''' in memory of the former [[Prime Minister of India]] [[Rajiv Gandhi]].
Following this decision, HCA was required to pay Visakha Industries six times the contract price in accordance with the contract clauses governing any subsequent renaming of the stadium or the Visakha name not remaining attached to the stadium. HCA however, following some negotiations by Govt, got away by paying an amount of ₹43,00,00,000, i.e. the contract price only.
The ends are named Pavilion End and North End. On the retirement of VVS Laxman, the HCA decided to honour the veteran by naming the North End after him.{{citation needed|date=January 2021}}

==Sunrisers Hyderabad==
[[File:SRH fans while an ipl match.jpg|thumb|300x300px|SRH fans during an IPL match]]
[[Sunrisers Hyderabad]] is a cricket franchise based in [[Hyderabad]] by the [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] Governing Council. The team is owned by [[Kalanithi Maran]] of the [[Sun TV Network]].
[[Kane Williamson]] is the captain of the team. [[Trevor Bayliss]] is the head coach and [[Brad Haddin]] is the assistant coach of the team. [[VVS Laxman]] is the mentor of the team while [[Muttiah Muralitharan]] was the bowling coach of the team. The team won the 2016 IPL season.
The team jersey was unveiled on 8 March 2013, and the team anthem directed by [[GV Prakash Kumar]] was released on 12 March 2013. Their logo was unveiled on 20 December 2012, along with the announcement that the team's management would be led by [[Krishnamachari Srikkanth|Kris]], [[Tom Moody]] and [[VVS Laxman]].
The stadium suffered from a jinx of losing matches for the home team. [[Deccan Chargers]] lost all their matches in [[2008 Indian Premier League]]. So the management had decided to change the dressing room position of the home team and also installed a sculpture of Lord [[Ganesha]] who is the god for success and the efforts of the management finally resulted in a win for India in the next match beating England with a margin of over a hundred runs. India won 4 out of 5 test matches hosted at this venue (1 Drawn). It also turned the fortunes of Sunrisers Hyderabad with almost all wins at home.
In IPL 2019, [[Hyderabad Cricket Association]] won the award for best ground and pitch.
==Test cricket==
