Formerly known as Ekana Stadium, the Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Stadium in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh is one of the most beautifully constructed stadiums in the world. Its unique architectural work has kept it free from pillars, allowing the spectators a barrier-free experience.
It recently hosted the second T20I between India and West Indies and in the process, it became the 52nd stadium in India to host an international cricket match. The pitch here guarantees a compelling contest between bat and ball.
This stadium is also serving as the home ground for the Afghanistan Cricket Team. Despite being a fairly new stadium, the stadium is expected to host some exciting encounters in World Cup 2023 because of the enormous support cricket generates in Uttar Pradesh.
