Punjab Kings, an IPL franchise, revealed their decision to host home matches at the newly constructed Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur, Mohali, for the upcoming season. This marks Mullanpur’s debut in the IPL as a venue.
While Punjab Kings traditionally played home games at PCA IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali and HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala, the team owners have opted for a shift to the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium this year.
PBKS officially announced the news through a press release last night. The Punjab franchise emphasized the amenities at their new stadium, expressing:
“The Mullanpur stadium has a well-equipped herringbone drainage system, which helps in removal of water within 25-30 minutes after the rain stops. Instead of using traditional soil, the ground is made of sand, which is difficult to maintain, but provides good stability.”
“It is equipped with two international-standard dressing rooms having facilities for steam, sauna and ice bath, while a world-class gym has also been set up at this complex.”
