FACTS Location Indore, India Time Zone UTC +05:30 Home to Madhya Pradesh Floodlights Yes Venue Description: The Holkar stadium, formerly known as Maharani Usharaje Trust Cricket Ground, has staged quite a few ODIs. When India came face-to-face against England on April 15, 2006, the Holkar stadium became the 156th ODI venue in this country. It also hosts most of Madhya Pradesh's Ranji Trophy matches and Duleep Trophy encounters. The floodlit stadium has a seating capacity touching 30,000, which is the norm for most cricket grounds in the smaller cities of India. Pitch Conditions: The wicket at the Holkar stadium usually favours the batsmen. With even bounce and short boundaries coming into play, batsmen tend to rule the roost.
Trivia: Virender Sehwag smashed 219 from 149 balls against West Indies at Holkar Stadium to break the then record for the highest ODI individual score of Sachin Tendulkar’s unbeaten 200.
