Keenan Stadium, Cricket field in Bistupur, Jamshedpur, India
Keenan Stadium is a cricket field in Jamshedpur with seating for around 19,000 spectators arranged in different sections. The ground is defined by the Dalma Hills End and the Naoroji Pavilion End, where crowds gather to watch matches.
The stadium was established in 1939 and named after John Lawrence Keenan, a former manager at Tata Steel. It hosted its first international match in 1983, marking a turning point for the venue.

The ground sits in the Northern Town area of Bistupur, and Tata Steel owns and maintains it. It is a multi-purpose venue, so cricket, football and even archery events can take place there. Check with local organisers before travelling, as the ground is used mainly by Tata group employees and Tata Football Academy players.
The ground was earlier known as Temple Garden, and the stadium takes its name from John Lawrence Keenan, a former general manager of Tata Steel, which owns the venue. Sourav Ganguly's century here gave India its only win in the ten One Day Internationals staged at the ground.
