The Nahar Singh Stadium previously known as Mayur Stadium is a cricket stadium in the Indian city of Faridabad.
The ground has seen cavalier innings by Douglas Marillier with sweep shots above the keeper's head to deny India a victory, or most recently, a hard-fought steady knock from Suresh Raina to snatch victory away from England or a spell from Aussie Brad Williams that knocked the stuffing out of the Black Caps.
Kapil Dev's last international outing was at that ground and the pavilion now stands in his recognition. Haryana's Irani Trophy victory came at this venue.
One of the most acclaimed Australian wicketkeeper-batsman, Adam Gilchrist had started his international one-day cricketing career here against South Africa on 25 October 1996 and went on to make it big at international arena.
Stadium is named after Indian Rebellion of 1857 Nahar Singh.
Nahar Singh cricket stadium was built in 1981. On 14 September 1986 the then Chief Minister of Haryana Bhajan Lal sanctioned for the renovation of the stadium immediately.
The first match, a Ranji Trophy game between Haryana and Services was played on 22 November 1982.
In January 1987, a match between Pakistan under-25 versus Indian Board President's XI was played in this stadium.
