You cant keep NAGPUR out of the cricketing scene.. Can you ?
First it was the Telangana issue that shifted the Ind-SL one day from Vizag to Nagpur.
Then the Kotla Pitch Incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise - Nagpur got to host the India - South Africa cricket test match.
Not to forget the regular quota of international matches that were hosted on regular basis at new VCA stadium at Jamtha. This got cricket lovers all over India complaining as to what is so special with Nagpur ? [ Visit the new Vca Stadium @ Jamtha & you will know ]
Well, there is some more good news for cricket lovers in Nagpur! Nagpur missed out on hosting IPL (Indian Premier League) matches in 2009. And we almost missed out on 2010 IPL too. But God has been smiling upon Nagpur & Nagpurians. Three of the Deccan Chargers IPL 2010 matches have been moved to Nagpur from Hyderabad!
05 Apr 2010 Deccan Chargers vs Rajasthan Royals
10 Apr 2010 Deccan Chargers vs Chennai Super Kings
12 Apr 2010 Deccan Chargers vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
The Jamtha stadium at Nagpur , rated very highly by the International Cricket Council , will be hosting the three matches under flood lights. It would be great to see the IPL action live in the orange city & fans will lap up this opportunity with both hands.
