Built 1986
The Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground in Rajkot is one of the smallest grounds of India with a seating capacity for merely 15,000 spectators. It has hosted 11 ODIs of which India have played in 10, winning five and losing as many.
The last One-dayer played on this ground was a run-glut, featuring India and Kevin Pietersen’s England team in November 2008. India piled up a huge 387 runs and carved out a massive 158-run victory.
The statistic shows the Rajkot track has been a batting paradise since the last decade.
The tinge of grass generally left on the wicket does assist the seamers in the early part of the day before the sun bakes it into a batting track. The quick outfield also makes life easier for the batsmen.
India have won four of the last five games they have played here, the only loss has come against the Lankans in 2007.
