#1 MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai

The venue of some of India's most historic victories, the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai was the host to India's first ever Test match victory in 1952, the venue of the 2nd tied Test in 1986 and the series-winning Test against Australia in the epic series in 2001. In the 32 Tests that have been played in Chennai so far, India has won 14 and lost only six, with 11 draws and 1 tied Test.
It remains one of India's luckiest grounds despite the heartbreaking 12 run loss against Pakistan in 1999. However, India hasn't lost a Test at the venue since.
In the 13 ODIs that India has played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, they have won 7 of them and lost 4, while the rest were cancelled. In the only T20 international played at Chennai, India lost to New Zealand by 1 run. Even then, it is without a doubt, one of the happiest hunting grounds for the national team.
