Narendra Modi Stadium

Formerly known as the 'Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium", the Narendra Modi Stadium is the largest cricket stadium in the world, situated in the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Complex in Ahmedabad.

In 2022, the iconic venue hosted the IPL final, which saw more than 100,000 people witness the home team Gujarat Titans defeat the Rajasthan Royals to claim their maiden title.

The iconic venue will host as many as 7 league stage games of the Gujarat Titans, including the season opener against the Chennai Super Kings on March 31.

Eden Gardens

The iconic Eden Gardens will host 7 games of home team Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2023.

The 65000-seater venue has hosted a multitude of iconic IPL games over the years, and one can expect the same this year.

M.A Chidambaram Stadium

The newly refurbished M.A Chidambaram Stadium is all set to welcome the Chennai Super Kings' for the first time since the onset of the pandemic.

Normally a spin paradise, the Chidambaram stadium will once again likely prove as a fortress for the Super Kings. With MS Dhoni likely to play his final IPL game this season, it is likely to be setting for some historic moments this year.

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore

The wait is finally over for RCB fans as the iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium gets in readiness to host IPL games for the first time since 2019.

A small ground, and a flat pitch, the venue has been a safe haven for batters over the years. And, RCB fans will hope that "King Kohli" rewinds the clock back to 2016 when he takes guard this season.

Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi

The Arun Jaitley Stadium will be the home for the Delhi Capitals this season.

Ever since the pitch got relaid at the venue, the Kotla has become one of the most batters friendly surface in the country, and one can certainly expect some huge scores this season as well.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad

The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium will be the home of SunRisers Hyderabad this season.

The 38,000-seater stadium will host 7 games during the league stage, and like always, one can expect lots of runs to be scored on a pitch that normally aids strokeplay.

PCA IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali

The IS Bindra Stadium will be the hosts for the Punjab Kings in IPL 2023.

The historic venue will host 5 games between April 01-May 03. The pitch is normally flat but it also aids seam movement, especially under lights, keeping all skill sets in play.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

The iconic Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is back in the IPL this year, with the venue set to host the Royals in 5 league games.

Normally boasting of a very flat pitch and short boundaries, one can expect lots of runs to flow from the bat this season.

Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati

The Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati will host two league matches in IPL 2023.

The first match will be between the Punjab Kings and the Rajasthan Royals on April 05, while the second will take place between the latter and the Delhi Capitals on April 08.

HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala

The HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala will play host to two IPL matches this season.

The first one will take place between Punjab Kings and the Delhi Capitals on May 17th, while the second will take place between the former and the Rajasthan Royals on May 19.

With the ground having recently gone redevelopment, its hard to predict the playing conditions at the moment.
