Mullanpur’s new stadium is ready for today’s IPL match

The newly constructed Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium in Mullanpur may provide some challenges for spectators, but the experience will be worthwhile when the arena hosts a major event.

The Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) is preparing to hold its first-ever blockbuster event at the new stadium on Saturday afternoon. The highlight of the IPL between the Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals is guaranteed to be a sold-out affair.

Based on previous results in domestic contests, a high-scoring encounter is anticipated during the play in the sun. Top BCCI officials will likely watch the match in Chandigarh tomorrow afternoon after arriving there.

“I am excited to witness the game at this brand-new venue. The stadium seems magnificent, although it is much smaller than the former PCA stadium. If the game stays high-scoring, it will be intriguing to watch. Ritambra, a local fan, said, “I hope Punjab Kings start with a win.”

“I am coming from the nation’s capital to support the Washington Capitals.” This ground feels fresh and has a nice appearance. A lot will depend on the pitch and circumstances at this place. It would be enjoyable to witness the Delhi Capitals in person because of their strong batting assault, according to Raghu.

Meanwhile, strict security measures will be supervised by more than 2,200 Punjab Police officers, under the command of 60 gazetted officials. For the purpose of facilitating spectator admission and departure, two main highways have been selected: one leads from Sector 39, Chandigarh, towards the stadium, while the other originates from the New Chandigarh (Kurali) road. The stadium has thirteen access and exit gates, and adjacent open space has been turned into parking lots.

Delhi vs Punjab

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, along with other state officials, is anticipated to arrive at the stadium to witness the match between the Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings.
In addition to other authorities, BCCI secretary Jay Shah will be there to attend the game. The BCCI is anticipated to inspect the facilities here and take the venue into consideration for scheduling next international matches.
It is advisable for fans to arrive early at the location due to the road being under construction. Because this is the first time the stadium’s entrance will be opened at this grand scale, fans may have difficulties getting to their assigned seating section.
