Trivia
-
For the preparation of the ground, clay was imported from South Africa. Generally, the outfields of the grounds in India are made from the red soil which makes the ground slippery in rainy season. Hence, to avoid this interruption, the outfields of the ground are sand based. -
The masts used for lighting the ground are the tallest in India.
