As of 19 August 2017, it has hosted 9 One Day Internationals (ODIs).

History

The Stadium attained infamy when an ODI match between India and Sri Lanka on 25 December 1997 was abandoned after the third over of the first innings [4] due to the captains and umpires agreeing that the pitch was too dangerous, to which the match referee concurred. A 25-over exhibition match was held on an adjoining pitch to placate the sell-out crowd of 25,000.

The stadium was subsequently suspended by the ICC from holding matches for two years. [5]

The Stadium hosted its last ODI match on 31 March 2001, where Sachin Tendulkar created history by becoming the first player to reach 10,000 runs in ODI cricket. [6] [7]

Holkar Stadium in the same city hosted the last ODI match between India and Australia in September 2017. As of 2020, it is unknown if Nehru Stadium will host another international match.

In July 2023, it was announced that a modern sports complex would replace the stadium. The new complex, costing around INR 300 crore, will offer a comprehensive range of outdoor and indoor sports facilities. The decision to replace the stadium comes due to its deteriorating condition. [8] [9]
