Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, Delhi – T20 World Cup 2016: Patience is the test of love, and who knows it better than a cricket fan, who’s counting days since eternity for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2016 in India?
Series apart, performances apart, when it comes to World Cups, fans
have this tendency of developing all new hopes and ambitions, no matter
how crappy their team plays at the moment.
Though Indian fans do have a strong hope
for their Men in Blue to snatch the trophy back again on their home
soil next year, the visiting teams are not going to give an inch space
also. And when one of the venues is Feroz Shah Kotla Ground, the fans
have all the right to hope for the team to perform amazingly well
there. Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, Delhi – T20 World Cup 2016 stats are as under:
Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, Delhi – T20 World Cup 2016
With its 41,820 seating-capacity, Feroz Shah Kotla
offers not only a marvelous view, but also extremely huge home support.
The crowd comes together in all their fervor and emotion to such an
extent that you can actually feel the game. And undoubtedly, it is for
the same reason that India has been undefeated since 2000 in test matches on this ground.
This stadium has seen big feats, such as Kumble’s 10-wickets in an innings against Pakistan, and Sachin Tendulkar’s 35th test-century to become the batsman with most international Test centuries, after beating Sunil Gavaskar. West Indies
have made the highest ODI score here, which was an enormous 330 for 8
in the 2011 Cricket World Cup. Most ODI runs here are scored by Sachin Tendulkar, which is a giant total of 300.
Well, it will be an amusing challenge
for all the sides, who’d want to crush Indian team amidst a huge fan
support on this ground. Also, it will be interesting to see how much the
IPL-experience will help the players also.
