The Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy (YSR) Cricket stadium, set on the outskirts of Visakhapatnam midst scenic hills, boasts one of the best batting tracks in the world of cricket. It’s also BCCI’s most preferred location to host ODI and other league games.
The grass for the YSR stadium was specially brought from the Caribbean. In addition to this the stadium has the countries best water drainage facilities. The ACA president Ganga Raju recently stated that the stadium may be awarded test status during the next domestic season of Team India.
The stadium currently seats 38,000, although there are plans to increase its capacity to 50,000 with the addition of more tiers to the stands. These additions might, however, block the view of the hills and the pleasant breeze allowed into the ground by the low-lying stands, which currently give it a pleasant air far from the hothouse atmosphere of most Indian grounds.
