The five venues for India's 2026 men's T20I series against West Indies have very different histories. Here is a source-checked snapshot of their listed capacity, first men's T20I, matches hosted, highest and lowest completed innings totals, and India's record, with figures checked on 3 October 2026 before the series starts.
The match-count and score figures below refer only to men's T20Is. They exclude women's matches and domestic T20 games. For live fixtures and score updates, see FairPlay's upcoming matches and live scores pages.

Capacity note: capacity is not always reported in the same way. ESPNcricinfo lists Lucknow at 50,000, while its Wikipedia ground page says 50,100. The Ranchi ground page says 40,000, while Wikipedia's national grounds list says 50,000. Hyderabad's page separately gives a 55,000 design figure and 39,200 match capacity. These are reported as listed, rather than treated as interchangeable attendance limits.
Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
Ekana's first men's T20I was India's 6 November 2018 match against West Indies. ESPNcricinfo's ground results list six men's T20Is at the venue. India has won all three of its matches there: against West Indies in 2018, Sri Lanka in 2022 and New Zealand in 2023. The venue's high is India's 199/2 against Sri Lanka in 2022, while New Zealand's 99/8 in 2023 is the low. The record therefore includes a small number of matches but an unbeaten India return, with both extremes coming from completed innings in the listed six-match set.
JSCA International Stadium Complex, Ranchi
Ranchi staged its first men's T20I on 12 February 2016, India against Sri Lanka, and has hosted four men's T20Is in the records checked. India won that first match, then beat Australia in 2017 and New Zealand in 2021 before losing to New Zealand in 2023, giving a 3-1 record. India's 196/6 against Sri Lanka is the ground high; Sri Lanka's 127/9 in the same 2016 match is the low. Those figures show how one early match still defines both ends of the venue's T20I range.
Holkar Stadium, Indore
Holkar's first men's T20I came on 22 December 2017, when India played Sri Lanka. Four men's T20Is have been hosted, and India has won three: against Sri Lanka in 2017 and 2020, and Afghanistan in 2024. South Africa won the 2022 match, which is India's only loss at the ground. The highest innings is India's 260/5 in 2017; the lowest is Sri Lanka's 142/9 in 2020. The scorecard for the 2017 match records 260/5 against 172, while the 2020 game records 142/9 against 144/3.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
Hyderabad's first men's T20I was India v West Indies on 6 December 2019. ESPNcricinfo's venue results list three men's T20Is, all won by India: the West Indies match, Australia in 2022 and Bangladesh in 2024. The latest of those games produced both venue extremes in this guide: India made 297/6 and Bangladesh replied with 164/7. The record is therefore a 3-0 India mark across a short three-match history, with the 2024 scoreline also producing the biggest listed gap between the high and low innings totals.
M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Bengaluru hosted its first men's T20I on 25 December 2012, India against Pakistan, and has hosted ten men's T20Is. India's results across eight of those matches are three wins, three losses, one tie and one no result. The ground high is Afghanistan's 212/6 against India in 2024; India's 212/4 in the same tied match was also level on runs. Sri Lanka's 122/9 against West Indies in the 2016 World T20 is the low. The results show a longer and more mixed India record than the other four venues, including the tied match decided after two Super Overs.
How to read the figures
A score such as 199/2 means 199 runs for two wickets. “Highest” and “lowest” here mean the highest and lowest completed team innings totals recorded in men's T20Is at each venue, not the highest or lowest individual score. India’s record is counted from the match-result lists, with ties and no-results kept separate from wins and losses. For broader historical numbers, FairPlay's cricket statistics section provides the place to compare scorecards and records.
Figures in this article are correct to 3 October 2026, before the India-West Indies series begins. Future matches in the series are not included in the hosted-match counts or venue records.
