A significant development is underway in Udaipur’s sports landscape with the announcement of a new international cricket stadium by the Miraj Group. Set to be constructed at Kanpur Kheda, the stadium boasts a staggering capacity of 50,000 spectators, marking a substantial investment of Rs. 200 crore.
This ambitious project, unveiled during the Investor Summit in Jaipur in October 2022, aims to elevate Udaipur’s status as a hub for cricketing events. The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) has confirmed that preparations for the stadium’s construction will commence imminently, following ongoing communication with the Miraj Group.
Rajasthan’s Second-largest Stadium – Udaipur International Cricket Stadium
Once completed, the Udaipur stadium will become the state’s second-largest, accommodating a sizable audience of 50,000 attendees. Surpassing the recently inaugurated floodlit cricket ground at Shikarbadi, this new facility is poised to host international-level matches, bolstering Udaipur’s reputation as a cricketing destination.
Renowned figure Dr. Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, a former member of the royal family of Mewar and two-time president of the Udaipur District Cricket Association, has been instrumental in driving this initiative forward. With a vision to nurture local cricket talent, Dr. Mewar emphasized the importance of providing a platform for players from Lake City to showcase their skills on the global stage.
