Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, International cricket stadium in Atal Nagar-Nava Raipur, India.
Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium is a cricket facility in Raipur featuring modern infrastructure and floodlights that enable day-night matches. The playing surface is designed to provide balanced conditions for both batsmen and bowlers.
The stadium bears the name of Veer Narayan Singh Binjhwar, a landowner who led local resistance to British rule in 1857. The naming honors his role in Chhattisgarh's historical struggle against colonial power.
The ground is named after Veer Narayan Singh Binjhwar, a Sonakhan landowner who led the 1857 rebellion in Chhattisgarh. Delhi Daredevils, now Delhi Capitals, were given it as a second home venue in 2013 and played their first IPL match here on 28 April 2013, beating Pune Warriors by 15 runs. The state waived entertainment tax on those tickets.
The venue accommodates 65,000 spectators and includes corporate areas, media facilities, and ample parking. Plan ahead for access and parking, especially during major events when crowds are larger.
The ground measures 180 by 160 yards, with boundaries averaging 80 metres and a maximum of 84 metres, which commentators have compared to The Gabba in Australia. The BCCI named its pitch and ground the best in the Central Zone for 2017–18.
