IPL 2023: Here are 12 venues which will host matches in upcoming mega tournament
Lucknow's Ekana Cricket Stadium and Guwahati's ACA Stadium are set to mark their IPL debut in the upcoming edition.
10. BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
For the first time, Lucknowites will get a chance to enjoy the flamboyance of the cash-rich league, by witnessing seven IPL matches, from April 1 to May 16. The first game in the city will be played between the hosts Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 1, 2023.
The stadium with a 50,000 seating capacity hit headlines after hosting the India vs New Zealand T20I match in January. After the match, Hardik Pandya expressed displeasure over the wicket, calling it a shocker, due to the excessive turn present on it. Following Pandya’s reaction, the ground authorities sacked the pitch curator as well and would now be gearing up with a fresh module, ahead of the mega tournament.
However, noting the history of the pitch, KL Rahul-led LSG batters will most probably be cautious and prepare themselves to confront spinners. In this IPL season, LSG will strive to deliver brilliant shows to satisfy local supporters on their home ground.
