The Three Ovals KSCA Stadium, also known as KSCA Cricket Ground, Alur and Alur Cricket Ground, is a cricket venue in Alur, a settlement on the outskirts of Bangalore, India.[1] The venue has three cricket grounds called Platinum Oval, Golden Oval and Silver Oval.[2]

The 30 acres land for the facility was acquired in early-2000s by KM Ramprasad, who was the president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) during that time. The facility hosted its first official match in 2011,[3] with the Royal Challengers-KSCA Academy moving to the venue soon after.[4] In 2013, KSCA inaugurated the facility's Platinum Jubilee Pavilion which serves as a common pavilion for Golden and Silver Ovals.[5] [2] The facility has 22 practice pitches,[2] and an indoor practice provision.[6]
