Rajiv Gandhi Stadium Hyderabad ODI records: Hyderabad Cricket Stadium ODI records and highest innings totals

ODI cricket will return to Hyderabad after almost four years with the imminent first match of New Zealand’s tour of India 2023 set to begin in some 18 hours from now. Although the city has hosted a couple of T20Is since its last ODI between India and Australia, fans are pretty excited at the prospect of watching a full day-night match.

India, by virtue of being the hosts, have been part of all the six ODIs played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium till date. Three wins and as many losses doesn’t call for the best of records for them though. New Zealand, on the contrary, have only played a couple of Tests here and will be playing an ODI for the first time tomorrow.
