History
Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground is also used for staging first class cricket. It has hosted 86 first class cricket match.
The ground dimensions being comparatively small and the pitch usually batsman-friendly contributed to some enormous scores in the past. New Zealand scored 349/5 in 2001, India scored 387/5 in 2008 but the best ever was in the Game between India and Sri Lanka on 15 Dec 2009 when India scored 414 runs (then highest ever in Indian history) but Sri Lanka almost won the contest and ended up with 411/8, just 3 runs short. Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground was abandoned as an international venue when the Saurashtra Cricket Association built the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in 2008 on the outskirts of the city at Khanderi village on Jamnagar highway, spread over 40 acres (160,000 m2), some 10 km from Rajkot, Gujarat.
This stadium has a spectator capacity of 28,000 and plays host to international and IPL matches. The new stadium is a modern complex which has a cricket ground & stadium, basketball, tennis, volleyball, badminton and squash courts, a swimming pool and an indoor stadium.
The Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground has since been used only as a venue for First-class and List A matches for the Indian domestic team of Saurashtra.
