Jharkhand States Cricket Association International Cricket Stadium, also known as JSCA International Stadium Complex, is situated in Ranchi, India an eastern city of India.
It serves Jharkhand State Cricket Association to organise International Matches in Jharkhand and is the home ground of the Jharkhand cricket team and Indian Premier League team Chennai Super Kings. Two home games of IPL Team Chennai Super Kings will be held at JSCA stadium. It was inaugurated in January 2013. The state-of-the-art venue is one of the best stadiums in India.
The JSCA's decision to build a new cricket stadium in Ranchi stemmed from a dispute with Tata Steel, regarding allocations of international matches and conducting matches in Keenan Stadium.
This conflict came about when an international match between India and England was moved to Bangalore, with the JSCA stating they did not receive any response from Tata Steel. Following this, the JSCA decided a new stadium was needed. JSCA Stadium Constructed by M/s Ram Kripal Singh Construction Private Limited, Ranchi, Jharkhand. As Jharkhand State Cricket Association is a full member of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), it organises international matches in the state, but JSCA did not own any international cricket stadiums, the only one being Keenan Stadium,Jamshedpur which was owned by Tata Steel. Therefore it was decided to construct its own International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand.
The design commission was given to architectural consultants Kothari Associates Pvt. Ltd. of Delhi.
This stadium is built within the premises of HEC (Heavy Engineering Corporation), a public sector company. The stadium is the home ground of Indian Cricket Team former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
