Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground


The Gangotri Glades Cricket Ground, located in Mysuru, Karnataka, is a cricket stadium in India, located on the campus of the University of Mysore. It was renamed Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground upon Prince of Mysuru Kingdom Prince Srikanta Wadiyar.
The Chamundi hills provide an idyllic backdrop, and the iconic Kukkarahalli lake is just a big-hit away. It has a seating capacity of about 15,000. It was constructed by the University of Mysore.
In 1997, the Karnataka State Cricket Association entered into a 20-year agreement with the university to develop and maintain the ground as part of its efforts to promote the game in smaller centres. It was in 2007 that a new pavilion complex was constructed and the stadium got a facelift, making it fit to host Ranji Trophy matches.
This ground is the next home ground for the Karnataka Cricket Team after the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. This ground is covered with Bermuda Grass.

History and Development

Many gGames which are held here are high scoring games but records show that Fast Bowlers have excelled here.
First there is some swing and pace on the track and bowlers have an advantage, but as the game progresses it suits the batsmen.
