president Roger Binny, Secretary Jay Shah and iconic cricketer Sachin Tendulkar. Famous
cricket legends like Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri and Dilip Vengsarkar graced the
occasion.
Taking Inspiration from world famous Kashi Vishwanath Temple, its infrastructure is based on
features of Lord Shiva. Its floodlights resemble a trident and roof covers will be crescent shaped.
The seating arrangement will look like ghats of Varanasi and the facade metallic sheets will be
like Bel Patra or wood apple leaves. A fascinating design is attributed to the media center which
will resemble a Damaru.

Additionally it will have an outdoor ground and a huge parking facility. It will become the third international cricket stadium of Uttar Pradesh after Kanpur and Lucknow.
