Sawai Mansingh Stadium Jaipur

The Sawai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur, Rajasthan has hosted nine ODIs and a solitary Test in 1987. Jaipur's ODI debut kicked off with a contest between India and Pakistan in 1983 in which riding on a strokeful half-century by Sandeep Patil (50 from 28 balls), India won by four wickets.

The 1987 Test between India and Pakistan proved to be an instrument of peace when Pakistan President General Zia-ul-Haq came over to witness the second day's play as part of his "Cricket for Peace " initiative. The game, which saw Sunil Gavaskar being dismissed to the first ball of a Test match for the third time in his career, ended in a draw amid a controversy over the alleged deposition of sawdust on the wicket that Pakistan objected to.

This is also the ground where Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar, most successful opening pair for India in ODIs, opened the innings for the first time.
