You might not know much about it, but did you know that the national sport of India is actually cricket? This South Asian country is crazy about cricket and turns out in droves to watch the national team and top teams from domestic leagues play.

If you find yourself in India, one of the most interesting things that you can do is visit a cricket ground to see a game. Here are three cricket grounds in India that you must visit.

Eden Gardens: Kolkata

The most iconic cricket ground in India is, without a doubt, the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. This fascinating and large stadium opened in 1864, over a century and a half ago! It’s the home stadium of the Kolkata Knight Riders and also sometimes hosts Indian national team matches.

Wankhede Stadium: Mumbai

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is more modern but just as breathtaking as the previous entry on the list. It’s an architectural gem with capacity for just over 33,000 fans who show up to cheer on the Mumbai Indians.

Himachal Pradesh Stadium: Dharamshala

If the other two stadiums are notable for their size and importance, the Himachal Pradesh Stadium is a must-visit due to its spectacular surroundings. Located in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, the Dali Lama sometimes attends games here and blesses the players.
