Dharamshala Cricket Venue is the world's most beautiful cricket stadium. The stadium is located in Dharamshala and is home to the Dalai Lama of Tibet. It is located at an elevation of 1,457 meters and faces the Himalayan highlands. It is one of six new Test match grounds in India. The other five are Ajanta Stadium in Aurangabad, Eden Gardens in Kolkata, M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Chennai, Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad and Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur.
This sports venue has been designed by Australian architect Dr Leslie Wilson. It has a capacity for 100,000 people and was built in 1975. The ground is surrounded by mountains on three sides with views of the Himalayas.
The stadium is also known as the Dragon's Lair because it is located inside the Tibetan capital city of Dharamshala. It is the largest cricket stadium in India and third largest in the world after Lord's Cricket Ground in London and Ken O'Keefe Stadium in Canberra.
It is popularly believed that if you walk around the stadium 365 times, then you will get back to where you started from! However, this isn't true; instead, you will end up back at the starting point after walking around it once.
Actually, the story goes that when the stadium was being built, some workers fell into a hole in the ground during construction.
Dharamshala, built in 2003, is the highest international cricket ground at 4,780 feet. It is also the only Test match stadium in India. The other five international stadiums are in Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore and Gwalior.
This number four ranking may be changed when Rajpath Stadium in New Delhi is upgraded to an international standard stadium. For now, it is used for most major Indian domestic cricket competitions.
It has a capacity of 50,000 people and is located in the capital city of India, New Delhi. The stadium is owned by the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA). It was built as one of the eight new stadia that were constructed across India following the 2000 World Cup. The remaining seven venues are in Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Ghaziabad and Vadodara.
The first game played on Dharamshala was between India and Australia in December 2003. India won the match by an innings and 36 runs. Since then, India has regularly played there. The last match played there was in November 2009. India won this game too by an innings and 125 runs.

The stadium is located in Krishnagiri Village, Kerala, India. It has a capacity of 20,000 spectators and is the highest-altitude stadium used exclusively for cricket, standing at 2,100 feet above sea level. It was built by the government of Kerala and opened in 2011.
This venue is not suitable for any other sport because there are no facilities such as lighting towers, scoreboards, or press boxes. However, it does have one advantage over most international stadiums: it is located near a mountain, which provides some natural shade during daytimes.
The stadium is owned by the state government of Kerala and is operated by their sports authority. It has been used for only one edition of the Indian Premier League so far (2011). In that season, Kochi Tuskers won the match against Mumbai Indians with an overall score of 100 runs. This was the highest-scoring game ever played at the stadium. Since then, it has never been used again for a cricket match.
Kerala Sports Council has announced plans to build another new stadium in Thiruvananthapuram District. If these plans come through, then Krishnagiri Venue would become just a part of the landscape rather than an arena of sporting events.
The Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium is Hyderabad's main cricket venue. It is located in Uppal and has a capacity of about 55,000 people. Hyderabad's reputation as a high-scoring venue was shattered by the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. In its first season, it proved to be very slow - there were no scores over 300 in either of the matches - and not many runs were scored here. But under the guidance of David Richards, who took over as coach after India's victory in the 1999 World Cup, this ground has become one of the best in the country.
An interesting fact about this ground is that it used to be known as Mecca Farms before it became a stadium. The first match played here was between India and South Africa in 2001. It was also the venue for the final of the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy. After this tournament, which India won, several improvements were made, most notably in the broadcasting facilities which now allow every ball of the game to be shown live on television.
Other than these two matches, we don't have any statistics on how well this ground has performed since then. However, considering its condition when it first opened and the fact that it didn't help India's cause in either of these matches, we can assume that it hasn't done too well on the field.
This ground is owned by the Government of Telangana.
