SrinjayDutta Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Which are the cricket grounds you have visited in India and which are the liveliest ones? It may not be the one with most crowds. I have been at Eden Gardens 10-12 times and once at Kotla. Definitely prefer Eden Gardens vibe, was lucky to have watched kuldeep hattrick and Ind-pak t20 semi with electric atmosphere. Target in future for me: chinnaswamy and wankhede. Gollum and DHONI_FANN 2 Link to comment
Gollum Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Watched most of my matches at Eden Gardens, even played (badly) in the ground thrice in CAB sub-junior (95, 110 points) tournaments besides hanging around as net bowler for seniors. Definitely Eden, greatest sports venue in India IMO. Chepauk will be 2nd as far as cricket venues are concerned, some great memories associated with that ground. Probably it surpasses Eden if quality of matches/achievements/memories is taken into consideration starting with our 1st test win in 1952 against ex-colonial masters England.

Chalks Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Never been to a game in India, but for old time's sake I would like to see a game at the Brabourne in Mumbai (even if it's just a village game). SrinjayDutta 1 Link to comment
Khota Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Feroze Shah Kotla becaus ethat is the only place I have attended games in. If I get my bias out of the way it has to be Eden Garden. SrinjayDutta 1 Link to comment
DHONI_FANN Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Chinnaswamy and Barbati (cuttack). India won on both instances. Opposition was Sri Lonka SrinjayDutta 1 Link to comment
bowl_out Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Wankhede and Chinnaswamy are the best.. Chepauk comes next. Want to go to Eden Gardens and Dharamsala sometime. I've heard Feroz Shah Kotla is the worst Edited March 25, 2019 by bowl_out Link to comment

MechEng Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Eden Gardens for the 2 most epic knocks ever in cricket - 281 in 2001 and even better 264 against SL. Suhaan 1 Link to comment

Feroz Shah Kotla is the ugliest ground in the country, those zig zag stands are an eye sore, the ground looks like a ST stand with ads of Pan Bahar. the most picturesque ground has to be Dharamsala, most sporting wicket along with the lush green outfield has to be Mohali.

Jimmy Cliff Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Chepauk before it was "modernized". Link to comment

Kotla has the best atmosphere. Sight of people shouting at each other, making noise and it is nothing short of a festive atmosphere. I did mention that facilities are the ugliest. Link to comment
Norman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 MCA stadium in Pune is the best when it comes to viewing experience and infra. Wankhede are Chinnaswamy are close second. Dharamsala and Eden are good . Feroz Shah Kotla and Chepauk are the ugliest. Link to comment
