TheBarabati Stadium is an Indian sports stadium used mostly for cricket and association football, and also sometimes for concerts and field hockey, located inCuttack,Odisha. It is a regular venue for international cricket and is the home ground ofOdisha cricket team. It is the seventeenth largest cricket stadium in the world and twelfth largest cricket stadium in India in terms of seating capacity. The stadium is owned and operated by theOdisha Olympic Association. It is also used forassociation football. It hostsSantosh Trophy national football tournament and the state'sOdisha First Division League football matches.^[2] The Barabati Stadium is one of the older grounds in India, having hosted several touring sides – including the MCC, the West Indies team and the Australians – before it hosted its first international cricket match. It hosted only the third one-day international in this country, in January 1982, when India put it across England by five wickets to lift the series 2–1. It hosted its first ever Test match five years later where India played hosts to Sri Lanka. Though it is not a regular Test venue, it continues to hostOne-Day Internationals regularly. It also hosted the2013 Women's Cricket World Cup.^[3] This ground is also known for its good playing conditions.

The cricket and football venue is equipped with floodlights for day-and-night games and is a regular venue forODI matches. It was an adopted home venue for formerIndian Premier League franchiseDeccan Chargers,Kings Xi Punjab, andKolkata Knight Riders. Barabati Stadium has successfully served as the venue for both Indian Premier League and the now defunctOdisha Premier League.

The Barabati Stadium in Cuttack hosted only the third One Day International in the country, in January 1982, when India beat England by five wickets to win the series 2–1. In the first Test match here, five seasons later, the Sri Lankans were greeted with an underprepared wicket affording vastly unpredictable bounce. Dilip Vengsarkar, then at the height of his career, made his highest Test score of 166, his fourth century in eight Tests, when no other batsman on either side crossed 60. India won by an innings and 67 runs. Kapil Dev bagged his 300th Test victim, bowling Rumesh Ratnayake with a ball that failed to sit up.

The only other Test match here, against New Zealand in 1995–96, was badly affected by rain, affording less than 180 overs of playing time. Narendra Hirwani, on a comeback trail, took 6 for 59 in New Zealand's only innings, the best bowling figures here.

Though it is not one of the regular Test venues anymore, it continues to enjoy the status of international venue and hosts One-Day Internationals regularly. India have won one of the two Test matches played here, and have an 11–4 win–loss record in ODIs.

In 2012,OCA named the indoor cricket hall at Barabati Stadium afterSachin Tendulkar.
