Cricket has been growing steadily in the football-dominated Northeast, and Guwahati is at the center of this rise. The Barsapara Cricket Stadium, the largest cricket ground in the region with a capacity of 40,000, has played a big role in this growth.
The stadium has a modern look and has already hosted several men’s and women’s white-ball matches. While it hasn’t seen a Test match yet, that milestone will finally arrive in 2025. Barsapara is also known as the second home ground of Rajasthan Royals in the IPL.
Here is a complete look at the stadium’s ODI, T20I, and upcoming Test records.
