Punjab Kings announced on Monday that their home games for the upcoming Indian Premier League season will be played at the newly constructed Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, Mohali. The stadium, which has hosted domestic matches in recent years, is equipped with modern amenities and first-rate infrastructure and can seat 33,000 people. The stadium also has a well-equipped herringbone drainage system, which assists in the removal of water within 25-30 minutes of the rain stopping.
Instead of traditional soil, the ground is made of sand, which is difficult to maintain but provides adequate stability.
The complex includes two international-standard dressing rooms with steam, sauna, and ice bath facilities, as well as a world-class gym.
The stadium will be officially opened when the Punjab Kings face the Delhi Capitals on March 23.
The franchise’s long-standing home venue, Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium, has a capacity of 27,000. The franchise had been playing its home games there since the IPL’s first season in 2008.
