Tamil Nadu cricket fans are in for a treat. The state is set to play host to the colossal new biggest cricket stadium in Coimbatore, a project that promises to rival even the iconic Chepauk in Chennai.
While specifics about whether the stadium will claim the title of India’s largest in terms of seating capacity or pitch dimensions are yet to be unveiled, the scale of the undertaking is undeniable. The announcement, made earlier this year by Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, has sent ripples of excitement through the state’s cricketing community.
The Tamil Nadu Sports Development Authority has wasted no time in getting the ball rolling, inviting tenders for a Detailed Project Report (DPR) to bring this ambitious vision to life. The Ondipudur area in Coimbatore has been earmarked as the venue for this cricketing colossus.

The proposed stadium will join the ranks of other ambitious cricket infrastructure projects across the country. Hyderabad and Mumbai are also constructing their own world-class cricket homes. However, when it comes to sheer history and prestige, Chepauk remains a formidable force. Home to the Chennai Super Kings and the venue for this year’s IPL final, Chepauk is more than just a stadium; it’s a cricketing pilgrimage site.
While Narendra Modi Stadium currently holds the world record for capacity, and the Melbourne Cricket Ground boasts unparalleled dimensions, the new Tamil Nadu stadium has the potential to carve its own niche in the annals of Indian cricket. As the project progresses, fans can’t help but wonder what kind of cricketing magic this new venue will conjure.
