The Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium (formerly Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium) is a cricket stadium owned and operated by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) and located on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi. It was established in 1883 as the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, and named after the nearby Kotla fort. It is situated on land that is a historical part of Ferozabad, the 14th-century city established by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq in 1354 CE. It is within the fortified city and shares historical proximity with the surviving structures of the Kotla complex, such as the Jami Masjid. It is the second-oldest functional international cricket stadium in India, after the Eden Gardens of Kolkata. As of 12 February 2026, it has hosted 36 Tests, 29 ODIs, and 10 T20Is.
