The Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium is a cricket stadium in Hyderabad, India. The Stadium was the home ground for the Hyderabad cricket team. It is the venue for many national and international sporting events, especially for football and cricket. The stadium was previously known as Fateh Maidan and was re-named in 1967 after Lal Bahadur Shastri, India's former Prime Minister. In 2005, the use of Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium for International cricket was discontinued when Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium built across town hosted a ODI Match between India and South Africa. The stadium is now hosting Indian Cricket League matches and is the home ground for the 2008 Edelweiss 20's Challenge winners Hyderabad Heroes. It has the capacity to seat around 25,000 people. The ground has flood light facility which was introduced in 1992 during the Hero Cup match between the West Indies and Zimbabwe.
