MA Chidambram History

MA Chidambaram Stadium, commonly known as Chepauk Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. Established in 1916, it is the second oldest cricket stadium in the country after Eden Gardens, Kolkata. It is owned and operated by the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA).

In 1859, the Madras Presidency acquired the Chepauk Palace for ₹589,000 at auction. In 1865, the government allowed the Madras Cricket Club to build a pavilion in the palace grounds. The pavilion was completed in 1866. The pavilion was rebuilt in 1892 and was used until 1982 when it was demolished as part of the stadium's renovation.

The Chepauk Stadium was founded in 1916 and has been the home ground of the Tamil Nadu cricket team ever since. It is the second oldest cricket stadium in the country after Kolkata's Eden Gardens, where all international cricket matches are still held. The Bombay Gymkhana is the first stadium not in use for international cricket.

From 1960 to 1988, Chennai hosted a Test match in the second week of January called the Pongal Test, as it coincided with the Pongal harvest festival.
