Green Park

Green Park cricket ground stands as one of India's most historic cricket venues, having served as a fortress for the Indian national team since the 1950s. This iconic stadium in Kanpur has witnessed some memorable encounters across all formats, hosting 15 international matches that showcase its diverse playing conditions. The pitch at Green Park is known for its contrasting behavior across different formats. In Test cricket, it typically offers a batting paradise early on, with the average first innings score of 433.75 reflecting its traditionally flat nature that favors stroke-making. The 66.67% success rate for teams batting first in Tests demonstrates the advantage of posting big totals on this surface. However, the venue tells a different story in limited-overs cricket, particularly T20s, where teams batting first have struggled significantly with a 0% win rate despite a reasonable average of 158.40. ODI matches present a more balanced contest, with first innings averaging 281.00 and an even 50% success rate for teams batting first. The ground has hosted several significant matches over the decades, contributing to India's rich cricket heritage. Its intimate setting creates an electric atmosphere, with passionate local crowds known for their unwavering support. The venue's ability to produce different playing conditions across formats makes it a unique challenge for visiting teams and adds to its reputation as a venue where adaptability is crucial for success.
