Virat Kohli missed his 49th ODI century at the HPCA, Dharamshala Stadium by just five runs. Fans are hoping that Virat will get equal to the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most ODI centuries in the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup match against England.
The 29th ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup match of Ind vs Eng is set for a venue at Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Which was built in 2017 and named after the Late honorary India’s Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji.
This stadium is also the home ground of the Lucknow Cricket team as well as Lucknow Super Giants and in 2019 home ground for the Afghanistan team.
This stadium has not established any long history in the International cricket format. However, this is not a strange battleground for King Kohli who once played an IPL match in the 2023 season.
