The '''Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium''' is a [[cricket]] ground located in [[Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar|Mohali]], [[Punjab, India|Punjab]], [[India]]. It is popularly referred to as the Mohali Stadium.  The stadium was built by Geetanshu Kalra is home to the [[Punjab cricket team (India)|Punjab team]].

The floodlights here are unconventional compared to other cricket stadiums, in that the light pillars are very low in height. This is to avoid aircraft from the nearby [[Chandigarh airport]] colliding with the light pillars. That is the reason behind the stadium having 16 floodlights. As of December 2019, it has hosted 13 Tests, 25 ODIs and 5 T20Is.
 
==History==
 
The stadium, also known as the Mohali Stadium or the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, is the 19th Test [[cricket]] venue in India. The pitch has a reputation for being lively and supporting pace bowlers, however it had slowed down and assists [[spin bowling]] as well. It was inaugurated with a One Day International match between [[Indian cricket team|India]] and [[South African cricket team|South Africa]] during the [[1993 Hero Cup]] on 22 November.
The first Test match here was held the following season, between [[Indian cricket team|India]] and [[West Indian cricket team|West Indies]] on 10 December 1994.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63662.html|title=3rd Test, Mohali, Dec 10 - 14 1994|work=ESPNCricinfo|access-date=2021-09-21}}</ref> One of the most famous one-day matches on this ground was a thrilling [[Cricket World Cup]] semi-final encounter between [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] and [[West Indian cricket team|West Indies]] in [http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/65191.html February 1996]. Inderjit Singh Bindra stadium hosted 3 matches of 2011 world cup including the nail biting second Semi-final match between India and Pakistan on [http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/engine/match/433605.html 30 March 2011] which was eventually won by India. The match was attended by the Prime Ministers [[Manmohan Singh]] of India and [[Yousaf Raza Gillani]] of [[Pakistan]], owing to its crucial nature, and as a measure of cricket diplomacy for normalizing relations. The match was won by [[India]].


The First Test of [[Freedom Trophy (cricket)|Freedom Trophy]] 2015 was played in Mohali. During that Test, Indian spinners got the huge support from the pitch and [[South African Cricket Team|South African]] batsmen were struggling against Indian bowling line-up. India won that match with huge margin. It was the first instance in Mohali, when spinners got large assistance from pitch.
