Holkar Cricket Stadium, Cricket stadium in Indore, India
Holkar Cricket Stadium is a cricket ground in Indore, India. It offers seating for 30,000 spectators and features floodlights that allow matches to be played at night.
The ground was originally called Maharani Usharaje Trust Cricket Ground and was renamed in 2010 to honor the Holkar dynasty of the Maratha Empire. This name change linked the venue to the history of the region and the rulers who once governed here.
The stands and boxes bear names of cricket legends like Col. C.K. Nayudu and Capt. Mushtaq Ali, representing different generations of Indian cricket. These tributes remind visitors of the deep roots the sport has in the region and the players who left their mark here.
The ground serves as the headquarters for Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association and hosts home matches for regional men's and women's teams. Visitors will find organized facilities with clear signage during international games and major tournaments.
In 2011, cricketer Virender Sehwag scored 219 runs against West Indies at this ground, setting a record for the highest individual One Day International score at the venue. This moment made the stadium a site for one of the most memorable innings in modern cricket.
