Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium Outfield Renovation Delays India-Sri Lanka ODI Venue
The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi will not host the first ODI between India and Sri Lanka in December due to ongoing renovations converting its outfield to a sand-based surface. This upgrade, expected to take around four months, aims to improve drainage and reduce rain delays, with the stadium likely unavailable for top-level cricket until IPL 2027. The renovation has already shifted Delhi's domestic Ranji Trophy matches to alternate venues. Consequently, players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma may miss playing in front of their home crowd in Delhi.
