Feroz Shah Kotla(cricket stadium

Bahadur Shah Zhafar Marg,
New Delhi - 110002 .

                           The smallest of the four main Test grounds in the country, both in respect to capacity and size, the Feroz Shah Kotla has traditionally been a batsman's paradise due to the nature of the pitches which for the most part have been docile. Perhaps this is best exemplified by the fact that in the 1955 Test, India and New Zealand together scored 1093 runs while only ten wickets were lost. The average of 109.3 runs per wicket is still a world record. The Kotla has almost always produced tons of runs though of late the scenario has changed.

                        The Kotla staged its first Test in the 1948-49 season when the mighty West Indies under John Goddard took on India for a five Test series and the ground has produced some really good performances. In the 1952 Test against Pakistan, Hemu Adhikari and Ghulam Ahmed were involved in a record tenth wicket stand of 109 runs - a record that still stands. In 1965, S Venkataraghavan, in his debut series, demolished the New Zealand line up with figures of 8 for 72 and 4 for 80. In 1969-70, Bedi and Prasanna combined to spin India to a famous seven wicket win over Australia, the duo picking 18 wickets between themselves. England's John Lever had a memorable debut at the Kotla in 1976, when he notched up a half-century and had match figures of 10 for 70. Five years later, Geoff Boycott surpassed Gary Sobers' world record Test aggregate. In 1983-84, Sunil Gavaskar scored his 29th century to equal Don Bradman's long standing record for the highest number of hundreds in Test cricket. But the crowning glory of all the feats at the Kotla came about when Anil Kumble became the second bowler in Test history to capture all ten wickets against Pakistan in 1999.                                                                                                                          Back.
