#2 Responsible for the scenic Dharamsala stadium
Being a Lok Sabha member from Himachal Pradesh of the Bharatiya Janata Party, he was the one responsible for the building of the scenic Dharamsala stadium. The venue is unique in India in that it is situated at an altitude of 1,457 m (4,780 ft 2 in) above sea level and has the snow-capped Himalayan mountains in the background. It is one of the most scenic stadiums in the world and has played host to a number of ODI and T20matches.
Apart from the Dharamsala stadium, he is also responsible for improving the cricket infrastructure at Bilaspur, Una, Amtar, Pragati Nagar and Laal Pani. Bilaspur and Una have also hosted senior level BCCI matches. Cricket has evolved immensely in the state, thanks to the support of Anurag Thakur.
