Sawai Mansingh Stadium (Cricket)
Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Rajasthan, is a historic cricket ground with a seating capacity of about 24,000. Named after the former Maharaja of Jaipur, it is the home ground of the Rajasthan Royals team in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The stadium hosted its first international match in 1983, featuring an India vs Pakistan ODI, and later hosted a rare Test match in 1987 during the "Cricket for Peace" initiative.
It has also been a venue for World Cup matches in 1987 and 1996. The stadium underwent major renovations in 2006, including the addition of modern facilities like a cricket academy, media rooms, and conference halls. Known for its balanced pitch, the stadium slightly favors teams chasing targets and has witnessed some dramatic matches, including notable performances like Mahendra Singh Dhoni's highest individual ODI score of 183 and Sohail Tanvir's six-wicket haul in the IPL.
The large outfield makes scoring boundaries challenging, contributing to competitive and intriguing contests.
