Venue Description:
JSCA International Stadium Complex or formerly known as Jharkhand States Cricket Association International Cricket Stadium is situated in Ranchi. The first ODI at the ground was played between India and England on January 19, 2013. Since then, two more ODIs have been played at this ground. The stadium has also hosted six IPL games.
It is a well-planned stadium. To provide fans shade from the scorching sun, membrane roofing system has been used. When matches are played during the winter season in India, there is always a problem of long shadows leading to the Day's play being called off. The builders of JSCA International Stadium Complex have constructed the stadium by keeping that problem in mind.
The stadium also boasts of Indoor Cricket center made up of three pitches. One of the interesting aspects of the stadium is that it is just a 10-minute drive from the airport. Four-lane roads provide good connectivity as well. The stadium is surrounded by the 17th century Jagannath Temple, Heavy Engineering Corporation Plant and Hatia Dam.
Pitch conditions:
As it is a relatively big stadium, spinners tend to play a part at the ground. The track also offers the spinners grip and turn. Ravindra Jadeja of Chennai Super Kings has certainly taken advantage of the conditions on offer with his left-arm spin. In IPL 2014, he took eight wickets in just four games at the venue. On most occasions, 150 can turn out to be a competitive score at the ground.
