This is considered as one of the smallest grounds in terms of field size to have hosted international cricket in the world. The straight boundaries are a mere 68 meters while the square ones aren't more than 56 meters. Along with these features, a flat pitch with true bounce where the ball normally comes on to the bat well, a lightning fast outfield and altitude over 600m above sea level making the ball travel much further when hit into the air make this ground a batsman's paradise.

Holkar Cricket Stadium is located in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. It is owned and operated by Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association and serves as it's headquarter. It is the home ground of Madhya Pradesh cricket team, MP women's team.[1]

It was formerly known as Maharani Usharaje Trust Cricket Ground, in 2010, Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association renamed it after the Holkar dynasty of the Maratha Empire that ruled Indore State.[2] Holkar stadium's ground is very small, its square boundaries are only 56 meters long.[3][4] in 2006 it hosted its first ODI, since then it regularly host International matches.[1]

Indore city has another cricket stadium, Nehru Stadium which was used for International matches until 31 March 2001.[5]

It has a seating capacity of around 30,000 spectators. It is equipped with flood lights for night matches.[6] Virender Sehwag recorded the third highest ODI score of 219 at this ground.[7] Gwalior's Captain Roop Singh Stadium, another international stadium in Madhya Pradesh, is a bit smaller than Indore's Holkar Cricket Stadium.[8]

The ground stages the majority of Madhya Pradesh cricket team's home matches in the Ranji Trophy. On 8 October 2016, It hosted its first ever Test match when India played against New Zealand. It became the twenty-second test venue in India.

History

The credit for giving land for the stadium goes to the Holkar's of the Maratha Confederacy. The ruling Maratha family of Indore State encouraged and pioneered cricket in this part of the country. Holkar cricket team appeared in ten Ranji Trophy season's, reaching the final eight times and winning the title four times.[citation needed]

It is on the some part of this ground that an older stadium was present where the Holkar's cricket team won its three Ranji Trophy titles, in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In this sense, some part of this stadium has seen greats like C.K. Nayudu and Mushtaq Ali playing for Ranji Trophy.

The stadium has hosted a total of 6 ODIs (2006, 2008, 2011, 2015, 2017, and January 2023), 3 Tests (2016, 2019 and 2023) and 3 T20Is (2017, 2020, 2022). Apart from these the venue has witnessed a total of 9 IPL matches.[9] Since the stadium's inaugration, Team India had a 100% winning record until 4 October 2022, losing to South Africa by 49 runs in a T20I match during the South Africa Tour of India in 2022.[1]

The first match was staged on 15 April 2006, India successfully chased 289 to complete a 5–0 series win on England in what was a dead rubber. Its second international match came two and a half years later when England next toured, India again winning. The rest three ODIs were against West Indies, South Africa and Australia.

The Stadium hosted its first ever IPL match on 13 May 2011. The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Kochi is the home venue for the Indian Premier League team Kochi Tuskers Kerala and officially hosted 5 home-matches of the franchise. The remaining 2 home matches were played at the Holkar Cricket Stadium. In 2017, Kings XI Punjab selected the Holkar stadium as one of their home grounds for three IPL matches.

Virender Sehwag made the highest runs in a limited over innings of cricket 219 here on 8 December 2011 against West Indies, which was later broken by Rohit Sharma.

In November 2015, the stadium was selected to be one of the six new Test venues along with Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, JSCA International Stadium Complex, Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium and Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in India.[10]

Holkar Stadium hosted its first Test match in October 2016 when New Zealand cricket team toured India.[11] India defeated New Zealand by 321 runs on the fourth day to complete a 3–0 series whitewash. The second Test match was played between India and Bangladesh in 2019.[9]

The Stadium was selected to host the final of the 2016-17 edition of the Ranji Trophy from 10 January 2017.[12]

Stadium hosted 2 international matches in 2017, One Day International between Indian Cricket Team & Australian Cricket Team was played on 24 September 2017 whereas T20 International between Indian Cricket Team & Sri Lanka Cricket Team was played in December 2017.[13] In this T20I match Rohit Sharma scored his 2nd T20I century. He scored 118 runs from 43 balls[14]
