VDCA CRICKET STADIUM(VISAKHAPATNAM)

Dr. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy International Cricket Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India. It is primarily used for international cricket matches, and also a proposed future home ground for I-League club Sreenidhi Deccan FC. The stadium has two-tiers and was designed to avoid any restricted view seats, eliminating pillars or columns which come in the field of view of spectators in some of the Indian stadiums. The pitch is known as a batsman friendly one. ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, located in Pothinamallayya Palem, Visakhapatnam, is surrounded by the blissful facade of the picturesque hills and the leafy ramble of trees swaying in breeze. It is the home ground of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League. The stadium built in 2003 is known for its excellent drainage facilities. The well-manicured, lush-green outfield at the ground has also come in for praise. The seating capacity is expected to be increased to 50,000. In fact, the Test status was also granted recently. It is the ninth ground to be awarded the Test status in India.
