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.
5. Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium (HPCA) Stadium, Dharamshala
Dharamshala, which is considered one of the most beautiful cricket stadiums in India, will be the second home ground of Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the cash-rich IPL. The 2014 IPL runners-up have won five and lost four in their nine appearances at this ground. In 2011, the team achieved its biggest victory in terms of runs in the league in Dharamshala itself.
Against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Adam Gilchrist-led Punjab racked up 232/2 on the board and pulled off a victory by 111 runs. In the game, Gilchrist led from the front as he delivered a magnificent century to put Punjab in command.
It also played host to the 2010 thriller contest between PBKS and CSK, which the latter won by six wickets. With the incredible batting show from MS Dhoni (54 runs off 29 deliveries), CSK chased down 193 with two deliveries remaining. This year, Dharamshala is hosting a couple of games and the locals will expect their home side PBKS to deliver mind-boggling performances.
