Detail InformationEdit

Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, also known as Khandheri Cricket Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Khandheri, about 10 kilometers outside Rajkot. Initially, the stadium was being used for Ranji Trophy matches, when the spectator stands were still being constructed. With the stands completed, the ground can hold 28,000 fans. The stadium is a part of a larger sports complex that will include venues for other sports such as badminton, basketball, and volleyball. It will host Saurashtra Cricket Association matches along with Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground. It is a state of the art cricket stadium. The media box here is similar in design to the one at Lord’s Cricket Ground, London. To facilitate spectator movement, there are several aisles between seat columns and lots of entrances/exits for the three stands. There is also a spacious passage running around the stadium, between the stands and the outer wall, to enable easy movement.
