History
The JSCA's decision to build a new cricket stadium in Ranchi stemmed from a dispute with Tata Steel, regarding allocations of international matches and conducting matches in Keenan Stadium.
This conflict came about when an international match between India and England was moved to Bangalore, with the JSCA stating they did not receive any response from Tata Steel. Following this, the JSCA decided a new stadium was needed. JSCA Stadium Constructed by M/s Ram Kripal Singh Construction Private Limited, Ranchi, Jharkhand. As Jharkhand State Cricket Association is a full member of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), it organises international matches in the state, but JSCA did not own any international cricket stadiums, the only one being Keenan Stadium,[6] Jamshedpur which was owned by Tata Steel. Therefore it was decided to construct its own International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand.
The design commission was given to architectural consultants Kothari Associates Pvt. Ltd. of Delhi.
This stadium is built within the premises of HEC (Heavy Engineering Corporation), a well renowned public sector company. It is located in vicinity of Ranchi airport, HEC hospital and St Thomas School, Dhurwa, Ranchi. The stadium is the home ground of Indian Cricket Team Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
The site enjoys good views of the surrounding area; Jagannath Temple, Hatia dam and world famous HEC (Heavy Engineering Corporation) Plant can be clearly observed from the stadium site. The stadium has been constructed in such a way that no shadow falls on any of the nine pitches before 4.45 pm, even on the shortest day of the year. There is another ground in the complex which has five pitches.
There is a practice arena with eight pitches. The stadium has a seating capacity of around 40,000 and 76 corporate boxes. Spectators can also enjoy views from two nearby hills on the East and West Sides called the East and West Hills. This is the only stadium in the country having hills on both sides.
The two pavilions, North and South, are fully air-conditioned have five levels each which include VIP areas, members' enclosure, donors' enclosure, president's box, the BCCI box and two large dressing rooms with separate dining spaces for players.
Membrane roofs provide shade from the sun, and together with the elegant structure consisting of steel braces, provide a memorable appearance to the stadium. The Stadium also features an Indoor Cricket centre consisting of three indoor pitches, with a residential complex where players can stay for training.[7]
In November 2015, the stadium was selected one of the six new Test venue along with Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Holkar Stadium, Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium and Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in India.[8]
