Ekana Cricket Stadium[1][2] is an international standard cricket stadium in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh,[3] named after former Prime Minister Of India Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee and one of the Lord Vishnu's name Ekana. [4]

International cricket
On 6 November 2018, the stadium hosted its first international match, a Twenty20 International (T20I) between India and the West Indies,[6] becoming the 52nd stadium in India to host an international cricket match.[7] In that match Rohit Sharma became the first cricketer to score four centuries in T20Is.[8] India won that match by 71 runs.[9] The last time Lucknow hosted an international match was in January 1994, when India played a Test match against Sri Lanka at the K.
