CLT20 - Delhi

Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi

Dynastic histories converge at the Feroz Shah Kotla cricket ground. Named after Feroz Shah Tughlaq of the Tughlaq dynasty from the 14th century, the stadium stands tall at Delhi’s bustling Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg named after the 19th century Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar.

Established in 1883, the Kotla was formerly known as the Willingdon Pavilion in the imperial days of the British Raj. The recently renovated stadium offers the spectator a superb viewing experience. The ground is currently patronised by the Delhi District Cricket Association. The Feroz Shah Kotla is home to the Delhi Daredevils, but with Anil Kumble having completed his famous ten-wicket haul in a single innings against Pakistan here in 1999, it is also a favourite of the Bangalore Royal Challengers skipper.
