The Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam holds 27,500 people. When the ground reaches capacity, the noise reflects off the two-tier structure, which developers designed to ensure no pillars or columns obstruct any views. This layout allows every spectator a clear sight of the action on the pitch during domestic or international fixtures.
The facility opened in 2003, establishing a base for cricket in Andhra Pradesh. It serves as a home for the Indian national men's and women's teams, along with the regional Andhra side. Several franchise outfits including the Mumbai Indians, Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Rising Pune Supergiants, and Delhi Capitals have utilized the stadium for their various tournament campaigns over the years.
International matches began here for men in April 2005 with an ODI against Pakistan. Test cricket arrived later, starting with a match between India and England in November 2016. The women's international schedule also features the ground, including the first women's ODI held in February 2010 between India and England. The pitch here generally favors those batting for long periods.
