The '''Punjab Cricket Association Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium''' ({{lang-pa|ਪੰਜਾਬ ਕ੍ਰਿਕੇਟ ਐਸੋਸੀਏਸ਼ਨ ਆਈਐਸ ਬਿੰਦਰਾ ਸਟੇਡੀਅਮ}}) is a [[cricket]] ground located in [[Mohali]], [[Punjab]]. It is popularly referred to as the Mohali Stadium.  The stadium was built by Geetanshu Kalra from Ambala City and is home to the [[Punjab cricket team (India)|Punjab team]]. The construction of the stadium took around {{Indian Rupee}} 25 crore and 3 years to complete.<ref>[http://www.punjabnewsline.com/content/view/4945/62/] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071025064753/http://www.punjabnewsline.com/content/view/4945/62/|date=25 October 2007}}</ref> The stadium has an official capacity of 26,950<ref>{{cite web|title=Indian Premier League 2010 Venues|url=http://www.iplt20.com/venue-detail.php?venue_name=Mohali|publisher=iplt20.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100314150026/http://www.iplt20.com/venue-detail.php?venue_name=Mohali|archive-date=14 March 2010}}</ref> spectators.

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 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 [[Hero Cup]] on 22 November 1993.
The first Test match here was held the following season, between [[Indian cricket team|India]] and [[West Indian cricket team|West Indies]] on [http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63662.html 10 December 1994]. 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]. PCA 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.
 
First T20 Internationals have been played at the ground, when [[Indian cricket team|India]] beat [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] by [http://www.cricinfo.com/indvsl2009/engine/match/430885.html 6 wickets in 2009]. It also hosted 3 T20I matches of [[2016 ICC World Twenty20]].
 
{{wide image|PCA Stadium Mohali wide.jpg|1000px|align-cap=center|A [[panorama]] of the stadium.}}
 
==Pitch==
 
The current pitch curator for the PCA Stadium is [[Daljit Singh (cricketer, born 1940s)|Daljit Singh]]<ref>[http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/india/content/ground/57991.html Punjab Cricket Association Stadium | India | Cricket Grounds | ESPN Cricinfo]. Content-uk.cricinfo.com. Retrieved on 2013-12-23.</ref> This pitch is the one of the greenest pitches of India and as the outfield is lush green, the ball keeps its shine for a long time and allows the fast bowlers to exploit the conditions at the most. The Mohali pitch is also known to slow down later on and become batting paradise.
 
==Notable events==
* Highest individual score in this ground '''208*''' (153) scored by [[Rohit Sharma]] on 13 December 2017 in [[Sri Lankan cricket team in India in 2017–18|2nd ODI]] against Sri Lanka.<ref name=IndvSL>{{cite web | url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18074/scorecard/1122727/india-vs-sri-lanka-2nd-odi-sl-in-india-2017-18| title=Sri Lanka tour of India, 2nd ODI: India v Sri Lanka at Mohali, Dec 13, 2017 | publisher=ESPNCricinfo | access-date=14 December 2019}}</ref>
