Dharamsala T20 Records: HPCA Stadium IPL Records, Highest Innings Totals and Successful Run Chase

Indian Premier League is all in readiness of making a comeback to the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh after a 10-year long hiatus. Although Himachal doesn’t have an IPL franchise of its own, Punjab Kings, based out of the neighboring state, had used the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium as one of their home grounds for four seasons in a row between 2010-2013.

Kings returning to this picturesque stadium brings back several fond memories of the nine IPL matches that were played here back in the day. While PBKS have won five and lost four matches here, opponents Delhi Capitals have won once and lost twice at this venue.
