MS Dhoni's hometown

The city, famous for producing India's most successful captain in Mahendra Singh Dhoni, was one of the strong contenders to have its own IPL team in 2016 but Rajkot and Pune out-bid them.

The JSCA stadium in Ranchi has hosted many international matches in the recent past and had also hosted IPL and CLT20 matches.

It was the adopted home of MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings in the aforementioned tournaments. It is a dream for every cricket fan from Jharkhand to see Captain Cool leading a side from Ranchi in the IPL.
