About Bombay Gymkhana Ground
Bombay Gymkhana Ground in Mumbai, Maharashtra, is one of India's most historic cricket venues, established in 1875 and carrying deep colonial-era cricketing heritage. With a capacity of approximately 10,000, the ground hosted what is widely considered India's first Test match on home soil in December 1933, when India faced England in the inaugural Test at this venue.
Owned by the Bombay Gymkhana Club - one of India's oldest social and sports clubs - the ground is now primarily used for social and club cricket matches. Its place in Indian cricket history as the ground where Test cricket first arrived in India makes it a site of immense significance for cricket historians and heritage enthusiasts.
