Patna, August 8: A historic moment for Bihar’s sports infrastructure is just around the corner as the state’s first world-class cricket stadium with ultra-modern facilities in Rajgir nears completion. The project has entered its final phase, and the stadium is expected to be ready by next month. Once inaugurated, it will be open for both professional matches and practice sessions.
Built to BCCI Standards
The stadium is being constructed strictly as per BCCI’s international standards, featuring a seating capacity of 40,000 spectators. Spread across 18 acres, its design meets the requirements for hosting high-profile international cricket matches.
Five-Storey Main Pavilion
The main pavilion, covering 14,295 sq. meters and spread over five floors, will include separate modern facilities for players, umpires, media personnel, and VIP guests.
State-of-the-Art Player Facilities
Players will have access to a gym, spa, laundry, physio room, and a medical center. The stadium will have 13 pitches in total — seven made with black soil from Mokama and six with red soil from Maharashtra. The black soil from Mokama, known for its higher clay content, helps produce better bounce, making the pitch more competitive and of international quality.
Advanced Drainage and Green Outfield
Grass-laying work across the field has been completed, and maintenance is ongoing. An advanced drainage system has been installed to ensure quick water removal during the rainy season, reducing match disruptions.
Premium Viewing Experience for Spectators
Facilities will include media rooms, commentary boxes, corporate boxes, third umpire rooms, camera platforms, and dedicated TV and radio commentary spaces. Spectators will enjoy premium experiences with private balcony suites, corporate boxes, and terrace viewing areas.
Boost for National and International Cricket
Under the supervision of the BCCI’s chief curator, the ground and pitch work is being completed to the highest standards. Only after final inspection and approval will matches be hosted here. The stadium will pave the way for national and international cricket tournaments and provide world-class training facilities to local players.
The Rajgir International Cricket Stadium is set to not only revolutionize Bihar’s sports infrastructure but also put the state firmly on the global cricketing map.
