About Nehru Stadium
Nehru Stadium in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, is a historic cricket venue with a capacity of 25,000 that served as Indore's primary international cricket ground before the construction of Holkar Cricket Stadium. Established in 1965 and owned by the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association, the stadium hosted India vs West Indies international fixtures in December 1983 during the Reliance Cup era.
The venue played a crucial role in developing Indore's cricket culture - a city that has produced multiple Indian internationals including the legendary Chandu Borde and subsequent generations of Madhya Pradesh Ranji Trophy stalwarts. Nehru Stadium laid the groundwork for Indore to eventually become a full-fledged international cricket destination.
