About Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium

Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium in Hyderabad, Telangana, formerly known as Fateh Maidan, is a historic cricket venue that served as Hyderabad's primary international ground before the construction of Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Established in 1955 and named after former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, the stadium hosted India's first international fixture in Hyderabad - an ODI against New Zealand in November 1955.

The venue played a pivotal role in building Hyderabad's cricket culture and is historically linked to some of Indian cricket's greatest names, including Mohammad Azharuddin and Venkatapathy Raju. While now replaced by the modern stadium for international fixtures, LBS Stadium remains a symbol of Hyderabad's enduring passion for cricket.
