The Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, (Telugu: రాజీవ్ గాంధీ అంతర్జాతీయ క్రికెట్ మైదానం, Urdu: راجیو گاندھی انٹرنیشنل کرکٹ اسٹیڈیم‎) also colloquially known as Hyderabad Cricket Stadium is a cricket stadium in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. Located in the eastern suburb of Uppal, it has a maximum capacity of 55,000 and extends across 15 acres of land. It serves as the home ground for the Hyderabad Cricket Association and the Indian Premier League team Sunrisers Hyderabad. As of 18 January 2023, it has hosted 5 Tests, 7 ODIs, and 3 T20Is. This stadium hosted the opener and final of 2017 Indian Premier League, and also the final of 2019 Indian Premier League.

It is named after the former prime minister of India Rajiv Gandhi.

History

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 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.

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 Visakha International Cricket Stadium in 2004.

By 2005 when most of the stadium was built, it was ready to host its first ODI Match between India and South Africa. However, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh(before the 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 with 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 honor the veteran by naming the North End after him. [citation needed]

  • Netherlands won the toss and elected to field.

This was the seventh match between the teams and third in World Cups, and the Netherlands were yet to secure a victory against Pakistan. The Netherlands won the toss and chose to field. Pakistan were reduced to 38/3 before Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan put on 120 runs for the fourth wicket, with both making half-centuries, the former's coming in 32 balls. Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan then added 64 runs together, taking their team's total to a respectable 286. Bas de Leede stood out as the top bowler for the Netherlands, claiming four wickets. The Netherlands innings got off to a shaky start, losing Max O'Dowd early on, but Vikramjit Singh and Colin Ackermann provided some stability. However, the latter could not stick around for long and was dismissed to a loose shot off Iftikhar Ahmed. de Leede and Singh formed a vital partnership of 70 runs, with both players reaching half-centuries. Singh's departure triggered a collapse from 120 for 3 to 158 for 6. The lower order offered some resistance, with Logan van Beek hitting a few lusty blows in the end but the team fell short by 81 runs.
