About Moti Bagh Stadium
Moti Bagh Stadium in Vadodara, Gujarat, is a historic cricket venue with a capacity of 18,000, established within the grounds of the Moti Bagh Palace of the Gaekwad dynasty of Baroda in 1908. One of India's oldest cricket grounds, the stadium has hosted Test and ODI cricket including India vs West Indies in November 1983.
The Gaekwad family of Baroda has been deeply associated with Indian cricket - most notably Vijay Hazare, one of India's greatest batsmen, who played on this ground. While now largely inactive for international cricket, Moti Bagh Stadium remains a heritage cricketing venue of immense cultural and historical significance in Gujarat and the broader Indian cricket tradition.
