| '''Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium''', also known as the '''Khandheri Cricket Stadium''', is a [[cricket stadium]] in [[Rajkot]], [[India]]. It is [[Gujarat]]'s first solar-powered stadium.
| |
|
| |
| In 2013, the first international match took place in this stadium. The host (India) played [[One Day International|ODI]] against [[England cricket team|England]] which India lost by a close margin of 9 runs. In same year, it hosted its first [[T20 International|T20I]] between [[Indian cricket team|India]] and [[Australian cricket team|Australia]] which [[Indian cricket team|India]] won by six wickets. In 2016, this stadium hosted its first [[Test cricket|Test]], [[India]] vs [[England]]. Although, the Test match ended in a draw.
| |
|
| |
| ==History==
| |
| {{refimprove section|date=July 2022}}
| |
| [[File:Khanderi Cricket Stadium.jpg|thumb|right|View of Khandheri Cricket Stadium from outside]]
| |
| Initially, the stadium was being used for [[Ranji Trophy]] matches, when the spectator stands were still being constructed.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110606065408/http://www.hindustantimes.com/News-Feed/domesticcricket/Antigua-fever-pitch-reaches-Rajkot/Article1-379759.aspx Hindustan Times]</ref> With the stands completed, the ground can hold 28,000 people. The stadium is a part of a larger sports complex that will include venues for other sports such as [[badminton]], [[basketball]], and [[volleyball]]. It will host [[Saurashtra Cricket Association]] matches along with [[Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground]].
| |
|
| |
| It is a state of the art cricket stadium. The media box here is similar in design to the one at [[Lord's Cricket Ground]], [[London]]. To facilitate spectator movement, there are several aisles between seat columns and the many entrances/exits for the three stands. There is also a spacious passage running around the stadium, between the stands and the outer wall, to enable easy movement.
| |
|
| |
| A 30-acre portion of agricultural land next to the Jamnagar highway was acquired around 2004. Construction began in 2006 and the total cost, including land, is said to be around Rs 75 crore (around $14 million). The SCA shifted its offices from the cramped seventh floor of a commercial building in the city to the stadium which has been hosting first-class matches since late 2008.
| |
|
| |
| The complex has two playing fields: the main one inside the stadium, with a 90-yard outfield, and a smaller one outside, with a 70-yard outfield. The latter is used for outdoor nets, and also for district-level matches. The dressing rooms are big and lined with large, luxurious, cushioned seats.
| |
|
| |
| There are more than 60 hospitality boxes dotting the West Stand and the Pavilion Stand but the SCA has decided against selling them permanently to corporates and will only hire them out for international matches. There are even plans to have an academy in the future.
| |
|
| |
| The stadium was in the cricket news when its [[Saurashtra cricket team|Saurashtra]] run machines [[Cheteshwar Pujara]] and [[Ravindra Jadeja]] make their latest double or triple-hundred.
| |
|
| |
| It also hosted its first [[T20 International]] match on 10 October 2013 between [[India cricket team|India]] and [[Australia cricket team|Australia]] during the [[Australian cricket team in India in 2013–14|Australia Tour of India Oct-Nov 2013]]. The match first saw [[Aaron Finch]] make 89 and then the return of [[Yuvraj Singh]] to international cricket in which he scored an unbeaten 77 as [[India cricket team|India]] chased down 201 runs.
| |
|
| |
| In November 2015, the stadium was selected as one of the six new [[Test cricket|Test]] venues along with [[Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium]], [[JSCA International Stadium Complex]], [[Holkar Stadium]], [[Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium]] and [[Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium]] in India.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/938911.html BCCI revamps selection committee, announces new Test centres]</ref>
| |
| The stadium was the home ground of the [[Gujarat Lions]] in [[IPL 2016]]. It hosted five matches in the season.<ref>[http://www.iplt20.com/schedule IPL-T20 Schedule]</ref>
| |
|
| |
| On 9 November 2016, the stadium hosted its first Test match, which was played between [[English cricket team in India in 2016–17|England and India]].<ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/1034809.html | title = England tour of India, 1st Test: India v England at Rajkot, Nov 9-13, 2016 | work = ESPN Cricinfo | access-date = 9 November 2016}}</ref>

| |
| == Sustainability Efforts ==
| |
| The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium has implemented a [[Rooftop solar power|solar rooftop system]], making it one of the solar-powered venues in India.<ref>{{cite web |title=Rajkot's SCA stadium becomes eco-friendly with solar power installation |url=https://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-rajkot-s-sca-stadium-becomes-eco-friendly-with-solar-power-installation-2136138 |publisher=DNA India}}</ref> The system is designed to generate 82,000 units of [[solar power]] annually and contributes to a monthly saving of approximately ₹54,600 in electricity bills.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cricket stadium in Rajkot to be solar-powered |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/top-stories/cricket-stadium-in-rajkot-to-be-solar-powered/articleshow/49433944.cms |publisher=Times of India}}</ref> Additionally, the stadium has plans for expanding its green power generation capabilities in the future.<ref>{{cite web |title=Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium: A Homeground Legacy in Rajkot, India |url=https://stadiums.world/saurashtra-cricket-association-stadium-rajkot/ |publisher=Stadiums World}}</ref> These measures are part of the stadium's approach to [[sustainability]].
