Gorakhpur to get its first International Cricket Stadium worth Rs 236 crore. Yogi Adityanath’s dream project promises world-class pitches, 30,000 seats, and multi-purpose use.

Gorakhpur’s Big Leap: International Cricket Stadium Coming Soon

In a major boost for Eastern Uttar Pradesh, Gorakhpur is all set to get its first-ever international cricket stadium. This massive project, worth Rs 236 crore, was officially announced on Monday. And no, this isn’t just another blueprint—it’s happening for real this time. Under the bold leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the plan has already moved beyond paperwork.

Yogi’s Dream in Motion: From Vision to Reality

This isn’t just any construction—it’s one of CM Yogi Adityanath’s dream projects. His government, known for pushing hard on development, wants to make UP not just better, but the best—an ‘Uttam Pradesh’. And Gorakhpur, his political home turf, is clearly high on the priority list. With the planning department already rolling out detailed layouts, the ground reality is taking shape faster than anyone expected.

Mega Structure with a Purpose: What’s in the Plan?

So what’s the stadium going to look like? Well, expect a two-story marvel with seven main pitches and four practice pitches. A 30,000-seat capacity means it’ll hold its own with other big stadiums in India. But it’s not just for cricket—this one’s being designed as a multi-purpose venue. Think concerts, big cultural events, and maybe even other sports down the line.

Where It’s Happening: The Heart of Tal Nador

The construction site? Tal Nador, Gorakhpur. Spread across 50 acres, the stadium will use 45 acres for the main arena and the rest for support services—parking, training centers, and other amenities. It’s a smart layout, and one that shows planners are thinking long-term.

From Lucknow to Gorakhpur: Cricket Comes Home

Until now, Kanpur and Lucknow were the only cities hosting international cricket in the state. Varanasi’s stadium is still under construction. But once Gorakhpur’s is ready, the region will finally find its name on the global cricket map. And for cricket fans here? That’s a dream long overdue.
