Maharaja Yadavindra Singh (MYS) International Cricket Stadium, also known as New Punjab Cricket Association Stadium is a cricket stadium in Mullanpur, Mohali, Punjab.
History
In March 2010, the Punjab Cricket Association announced that Mullanpur village of Mohali is going to have an international standard cricket stadium spread over 41.95 acre at cost of ₹230 crore (US$29 million). It is named after the ninth and last ruling Maharaja of Patiala, Yadavindra Singh.
From 2024, it is the home ground for the Punjab Kings for the Indian Premier League.
Facilities
Accommodating up to 38,000 spectators, the new flood-lit stadium features a sophisticated herringbone drainage system, which facilitates water removal within 25-30 minutes of rain. The stadium's field is composed of sand instead of conventional soil, which offers better stability, but is more challenging to maintain. The venue has two international-grade dressing rooms with steam, sauna, and ice bath facilities with a fully equipped gymnasium. There is a well-equipped media centre, modern lounges and turnstiles.
