It was also selected as the venue for all playoff games. In the fourth season of the IPL, the stadium will serve as the home stadium for the Pune Warriors' new franchise, as their stadium, the Pune International Cricket Center, was not ready in time.
International cricket
Originally, the first international cricket encounter was to be an ODI game between India and Australia on November 11, 2009. However, this had to be canceled due to heavy rain.
