Explore authentic views of Hyderabad’s iconic 55,000-seat amphitheatre, featuring state-of-the-art pavilions, 4K night floodlights, and premium spectator facilities.
Commissioned in 2004 to replace the historic Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium, the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium meets the highest ICC international standards. Spanning 16 acres in Uppal, the venue boasts state-of-the-art player amenities, ultra-modern corporate hospitality suites, and specialized media centers.
The two iconic grandstands are the North Pavilion End and the V.V.S. Laxman Pavilion End (South Pavilion) — named in honor of Hyderabad’s legendary Test batting maestro.
The stadium is equipped with an advanced SubAir subsurface drainage system that evacuates water rapidly, allowing matches to resume within 15 minutes after torrential monsoon rains.
Six towering floodlight masts deliver broadcast-grade illumination for Day/Night IPL and International fixtures, fully calibrated for ultra-high-definition 4K transmissions.
Renowned for offering true bounce with consistent pace, the Uppal pitch produces high-scoring T20 classics while offering spin and reverse-swing on Days 4 and 5 of Test matches.
