The Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, also known as the Nava Raipur International Cricket Stadium, is a 65,000-seater venue in the city of Nava Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. It became the country's 50th international cricket venue in 2023.[2] It is one of the largest cricket stadiums in India in terms of boundary dimensions.[3]

Inaugurated in 2008, this ground hosted its first ever match in 2010, when the Canada national cricket team arrived in India and played a practice match against the Chhattisgarh state team. In 2013, the stadium was declared as a second home venue for the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has since hosted many of the team's matches.[4][5][6][7] The first International cricket match played here was an ODI between India and New Zealand in 2023, which was won by India.[3]
