Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium, International cricket stadium in Mohali, India.
The Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium is an international cricket ground in Sector-63, Mohali, within the state of Punjab. The floodlighting system was designed to avoid interference with aircraft approaching Chandigarh airport.
The venue opened in 1993 after marshland was drained and converted through engineering work into a playing surface. Since opening, the ground has hosted international cricket matches regularly.
The ground was renamed in 2015 after Inderjit Singh Bindra, a former president of both the BCCI and the Punjab Cricket Association; before that it was known as the PCA Stadium. Its other common name, Mohali Stadium, comes from the city. The 2011 World Cup semi-final between India and Pakistan was watched by Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh and Yousaf Raza Gillani, a piece of cricket diplomacy.
The ground sits in Sector 63 of Mohali, next to Chandigarh airport, so its floodlight pylons are kept low and number 16 to stay clear of aircraft. The pitch, curated by Daljit Singh, has assisted spinners, as in the 2015 Freedom Trophy Test. The Punjab Kings moved their primary IPL home games to Mullanpur in 2024, so check which team and competition are playing before planning a visit.
The ground witnessed Rohit Sharma's record-setting innings of 208 not out against Sri Lanka in 2017, marking the highest individual score at this venue.
