Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium

Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium is a cricket venue in Hyderabad with seating for roughly 30,000 spectators and two distinct playing ends. The ground has modern floodlights and several indoor facilities for training and preparation.

The ground was founded in 1950 as Fateh Maidan and renamed in 1967 to honor a former Indian Prime Minister. This renaming reflected the changing identity and importance of the venue over time.

The stadium has served as a training ground for emerging cricketers from the region for decades. Local fans gather here to watch matches and support the development of young talent in the sport.

The stadium sits between Nizam College and Public Gardens, making it straightforward to locate. The grounds are well-equipped for matches and training, with organized seating and facilities spread throughout the venue.

The ground witnessed a remarkable moment in women's cricket when one team was dismissed for just 27 runs. This remains one of the most extreme results in modern cricket history.
