#3 Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala
The HPCA stadium is an extremely picturesque stadium located in the city of Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh. The stadium serves as the home ground for the Himachal Pradesh cricket team during the Ranji Trophy and also hosts other international fixtures as well.
It has hosted one Test, three ODIs and eight T20Is till date. HPCA formerly also hosted a few IPL matches, acting as the home stadium for Kings XI Punjab. What makes the venue standout is its unparalleled location. The stadium is surrounded by hills on all sides and is situated at an altitude of 1,457m above sea level.
In 2016, a T20 World Cup game between India and Pakistan was slated to be played here but due to several protests in the city to sever all cricketing ties with India's war-torn neighbours, the game was shifted to Eden Gardens.
