Best Indian Cricket Stadium for Finals?

[rickroll]

Question mostly for Indians here given your local knowledge but others can chime in too.

I hear+read multiple sources that say even many Indians are not happy with Ahmedabad consistently getting the big finals purely due to political bias. Is this the case?

If Ahmedabad is not an ideal choice in India for finals then which would it be? Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, or Bangalore because those stadiums have a more rich cricketing tradition? But Mumbai seems like a boring run fest, so does Kolkata with smaller boundaries taking spinners out of play, right? Would that mean Chennai or Bangalore could be an ideal choice for finals (in a utopian world without political interference) given their cricket tradition, more level playing field for batsmen and bowlers, and a more sporting crowds?

Any other grounds would be in contention besides these? Delhi or Mohali?

Once The Radisson Blu Miraj Stadium, located in Nathdwara near Udaipur, Rajasthan, complete , it will Host the 2031 World Cup final or champion trophy 2029 final.

This is a India’s first 5-star hotel-integrated cricket stadium, set for a 2026 opening. It features a 50,000-spectator capacity stadium, with nearly 75% of the luxury hotel rooms providing direct views of the field.

PS- This stadium has Ambani connection. This is what matters the most.

lol Wankhede is a legendary big match stadium. The vibe, atmosphere. Cricket is not as popular in Ahmedabad.

Best how? That is what outsiders want to know. Best in terms of cricket tradition? But the pitch is a road and boundaries are very close which makes it a boring game though? How does Wankhede compare against Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Delhi, or Mohali?

2011 final was played there so chill, awesome stand views, boxes, great ambience ,literally everything, and location.
Also one of the stadiums where the celebs old cricketer superstars everyone comes in.

When did pitches make great stadiums? This is not Tennis bro neither test cricket.

Why didn't England fail to chase 196 at wankhede against Windies? Why did Nepal almost beat England at Wankhede. This is a fantastic ground with great bounce. You still need skill to play here.

But the games themselves seem boring in Mumbai when India clearly seems to have better options, or am I wrong?

Wankhede with Marine drive anyday. Then Eden Garden or Chennai....Dharamsala for a summer's final would be good or Mohali

Boring is an opinion, if anything it was a close game of two proper power houses just like 2011 wc

Boring is when both teams don’t compete: 1999,2003,2007,2015 one sided tournament finals and yet the final played in those stadiums are the stadiums boring?

Motera is a soulless stadium. Wankhede has the history, vibes, traditional test centre, plus Mumbai is Mumbai best chilled crowd and face candies in the stands.

You will get the most knowledgeable crowd in Chennai. Bangalore is more of a six hitting stadia, but really small boundaries.

Mohali or Dharamsala in North India.

To avoid is Kotla, ugly stadium

Nah, too limited seats, and moreover major ticketing fiasco

 

[Sanzcool]

IT has to be Eden or Ahmedabad, purely fan based, more seats and the possibility of getting tickets

Eden Gardens won't get finals coz of politics and Ahmedabad will continue to get finals coz of same politics

Not their fault South Indians have decamped enmasse to US, Europe, UK

 

[Sanzcool]

Bangalore has to renovate big time, match viewing wise and climate the best in south cities, but fan experience in other areas absolute shambles like toileting etc.

I wouldn't mind adding Dharamshala to this list if not again for the tickets. An absolute beauty and a great venue
