Niranjan Shah Stadium

Initially, the stadium was being used for Ranji Trophy matches, when the spectator stands were still being constructed.^[1] With the stands completed, the grounds can hold 28,000 people. The stadium is a part of a larger planned sports complex that will include venues for other sports such as badminton, basketball, and volleyball. It hosts Saurashtra Cricket Association matches along with Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground.

The media box here is similar in design to the one at Lord's Cricket Ground, London.

A 30-acre portion of agricultural land next to the Jamnagar highway was acquired around 2004. Construction began in 2006 and the total cost, including land, is said to be around Rs 75 crore (around $14 million). The SCA shifted its offices from the seventh floor of a commercial building in the city to the stadium, which has been hosting matches since late 2008.

The complex has two playing fields: the main one inside the stadium, with a 90-yard outfield, and a smaller one outside, with a 70-yard outfield. The latter is used for outdoor nets, and also for district-level matches.

It also hosted its first T20 International match on 10 October 2013 between India and Australia during the Australia Tour of India Oct-Nov 2013. The match first saw Aaron Finch make 89 and then the return of Yuvraj Singh to international cricket in which he scored an unbeaten 77 as India chased down 201 runs.

In November 2015, the stadium was selected as one of the six new Test venues along with Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, JSCA International Stadium Complex, Holkar Stadium, Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium and Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in India.^[2] The stadium was the home ground of the Gujarat Lions in IPL 2016. It hosted five matches in the season.^[3]

On 9 November 2016, the stadium hosted its first Test match, which was played between England and India.^[4]

On 14 February 2024, the stadium was named after Niranjan Shah, a former first-class cricketer from Saurashtra and the honorary secretary of the Saurashtra Cricket Association, a day before the start of the 3rd test match.^[5]

Niranjan Shah Stadium has implemented a solar rooftop system.^[6] The system is designed to generate 82,000 units of solar power annually and contributes to a monthly saving of approximately ₹54,600 in electricity bills.^[7] Additionally, the stadium has plans for expanding its green power generation capabilities in the future.^[8]
