Covers 17 international matches at this ground from Dec 2011 to Jan 2026.
Our Holkar Cricket Stadium pitch report starts with one striking figure: men’s ODI first innings in Indore average a massive 346, and the team setting the target has taken 5 of 6 men’s ODIs.
This Indore ground has 17 internationals in the data, from Dec 2011 to Jan 2026, and men’s ODIs (6) outnumber the Tests and men’s T20Is (3 each). New Zealand won the most recent game, an ODI played on 18 Jan 2026, by 41 runs.
Indore Pitch by the Numbers: Huge Totals, Hard Chases
Leave out the DLS game and men’s ODI first innings still average 336, against 275 for the chase. No chase above 294 has succeeded, and India’s three biggest efforts (418/5 v West Indies, Dec 2011; 399/5 v Australia, Sep 2023; 385/9 v New Zealand, Jan 2023) all came in wins batting first. Men’s T20I openers average 210 and chasers 165, and the only chase was India’s 144 against Sri Lanka.
The women’s World Cup games were closer, 237 batting first and 220 chasing, with 3 of the 5 won by the chasers.
Red-ball scores collapse late. After 272 and 328, the third innings drops to 197 and the fourth to 116; Australia’s 78 in Mar 2023 is the largest fourth-innings target reached. The toss winner has won just 8 of 17 decided games.

Holkar Stadium IPL Pitch Report: Chasers Won 8 of 9
Flip to the IPL and the story reverses. Indore staged 9 IPL games from 13 May 2011 until 14 May 2018, and the chasing side won 8 of them. The two innings average almost the same, 160 and 159, and the best chase is 199. The lone successful defence needed 245/6, still the top IPL total here, by Kolkata Knight Riders versus Punjab Kings in May 2018. Mumbai Indians showed how quickly targets go, reaching 199/2 in 15.3 overs after Punjab Kings had posted 198/4 in Apr 2017.
Punjab Kings, listed under today’s name for their Kings XI Punjab years, fill the player lists. KL Rahul leads with 195 runs, Hashim Amla made 104* off 60 balls in that Mumbai game, and Andrew Tye took 7 wickets. The Punjab Kings IPL page and the IPL 2018 season records have more.
Questions about Holkar Cricket Stadium
Is the Holkar Cricket Stadium pitch good for batting or bowling?
Indore’s white-ball numbers favour batters: a 346 average for men’s ODI first innings and 210 in T20Is. Tests differ: the fourth innings averages only 116, and spinners such as Ravichandran Ashwin (India, 22 wickets) have done the damage.
What is the highest score at Holkar Cricket Stadium?
India’s 418/5 against the West Indians on 8 Dec 2011, built on Virender Sehwag’s 219 from 149 balls, the top individual score. In T20Is India hit 260/5 off Sri Lanka in Dec 2017, and in Tests India piled up 557/5 versus New Zealand in Oct 2016.
Is chasing a good idea at Holkar Cricket Stadium?
In men’s internationals the numbers say bat first: teams setting a target won 5 of the 6 ODIs, plus 2 T20Is from 3. The IPL is the opposite, with chasers winning 8 of the 9 matches played.
What is the highest IPL score at Holkar Cricket Stadium?
The record IPL total is 245/6, made by Kolkata Knight Riders versus Punjab Kings in May 2018. Hashim Amla’s 104* (60 balls) for Punjab Kings, against Mumbai Indians in Apr 2017, remains the only IPL hundred at the ground.
What is the seating capacity of Holkar Cricket Stadium?
Holkar Cricket Stadium holds about 30,000 spectators, going by its published capacity. Capacity can change after redevelopment or when temporary stands are added for big events.
