Maharaja Yadavindra Singh (MYS) International Cricket Stadium, also known as New Punjab Cricket Association Stadium is a cricket stadium in Mullanpur, Mohali, Punjab.[3]
In March 2010, the Punjab Cricket Association announced that Mullanpur village of Mohali is going to have an international standard cricket stadium spread over 41.95 acre at cost of ₹230 crore (US$29 million). It is named after the ninth and last ruling Maharaja of Patiala, Yadavindra Singh.[4] [5]
From 2024, it is the home ground for the Punjab Kings for the Indian Premier League.[6]
Accommodating up to 38,000 spectators, the new flood-lit stadium features a sophisticated herringbone drainage system, which facilitates water removal within 25-30 minutes of rain. The stadium's field is composed of sand instead of conventional soil, which offers better stability, but is more challenging to maintain. The venue has two international-grade dressing rooms with steam, sauna, and ice bath facilities with a fully equipped gymnasium.[6] There is a well-equipped media centre, modern lounges and turnstiles.[7]
