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,[5] Jamshedpur which was owned by Tata Steel. Therefore, it was
decided to construct its own International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi, the capital
of Jharkhand.
Main Stadium during construction

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
public sector company. The stadium is the home ground of Indian Cricket Team former
captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
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. The Stadium also features an Indoor
Cricket centre consisting of three indoor pitches, with a residential complex where
players can stay for training.[6]
