Vidarbha cricket Association Staduim , Nagpur , Maharastra

 




In Nagpur, Maharashtra, India, there is a cricket stadium called the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, often called the New VCA Stadium. The International Cricket Council has lauded the stadium's qualities, making it the largest cricket venue in India in terms of field size.

The stadium was opened in 2008 and took the place of the previous Vidarbha Cricket Association Ground as the primary venue for the city. It is situated near Jamtha on the southern outskirts of Nagpur. The Vidarbha and Central Zone cricket teams play their home games at the VCA Stadium in the domestic Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy competitions, respectively. It has hosted more T20I games  than any other stadium in India as of January 2020. It has held 6 Tests, 9 ODIs, and 12 T20Is as of November 10th, 2019.

Arrangement of VCA Stadium
The luxury in the changing rooms was mentioned by Ricky Ponting, and Sachin Tendulkar stated that "the facilities exceeded all expectations."[4] Following his team's two-run victory over the Deccan Chargers, Rajasthan Royals captain Shane Warne praised the "largeness of the ground" as being particularly favorable. "A fielder was hit by Michael Lumb's slog to deep mid-wicket. If this stadium had been M. A. Chidambaram or M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the ball would have fallen into a cab that was headed for the team hotel. Large fields like these are what we need, Warne added.[5] One of the largest grounds (in terms of playing surface) in the world, it includes 85-yard square limits and 80-yard straight boundaries.

The VCA, according to Lalit Modi, is "by far the best stadium in India." Because of the amenities, the stadium has received appreciation from analysts and journalists in addition to the players.[6] It is a magnificent stadium, a Colosseum here in Nagpur, Alan Wilkins stated. For traveling journalists, it boasts the most impressive Press box. It's a great place, in fact.

The Fourth Test between India and Australia in November 2008 was the first international game played at this location, which India won by 172 runs. Jason Krejza, an Australian spinner, finished with 12 dismissals, while Harbhajan Singh took seven for India.
