Having first hosted an international match in the form of an India-England ODI nine years ago, it was during Indian Premier League 2013 that JSCA International Stadium Complex had hosted a T20 for the first time. The venue, most popularly known for being in the city of former India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, also hosted Champions League Twenty20 matches later that year.
