M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, commonly known as the Chepauk Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.[3] Established in 1916, it is the second oldest cricket stadium in the country after Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Formerly known as Madras Cricket Club Ground, the stadium is named after M. A. Chidambaram Chettiar, former president of BCCI and Head of TNCA. It is the home ground of the Tamil Nadu cricket team and the Indian Premier League team Chennai Super Kings. Chepauk hosted its first Test match on 10 February 1934, the first Ranji Trophy match in 1936 and the Indian cricket team's first test victory in 1952 against England. The 1986 India-Australia match held at Chepauk was only the second ever Tied Test in the history of the game.In 1859, Madras Presidency acquired Chepauk palace in an auction for ₹589,000.[6][7] In 1865, the government gave permission to build a pavilion at the palace grounds to Madras Cricket Club. The pavilion was finished in 1866. The pavilion was reconstructed in 1892[8] and was utilized till 1982 when it was demolished as part of the stadium renovation.[7]

Chepauk Stadium was established in 1916 and has been the home venue of the Tamil Nadu cricket team ever since.[9] It is the second oldest cricket stadium in the country after Eden Gardens in Kolkata, still holding all international cricket matches. Bombay Gymkhana being the first is not in use for international cricket.

From 1960 to 1988, Chennai hosted a test match in second week of January and was termed the Pongal Test as the match coincided with the Pongal harvest festival.

Very large stadium, named after the president of the BCCI. Popularly known as Chepauk stadium. Located few hundred meters from seashore in Chennai. It is a cricket stadium. Gallery is very large. Sitting capacity is 40156. You can enjoy a match very much. Must visit with friends and family members.
