The cricket at the MA Chidambaram Stadium started with hosting Presidency matches in 1916. This iconic venue witnessed its first Test match in 1933-34, featuring England’s Douglas Jardine and India’s CK Nayudu.
With AG Ram Singh leading Madras to victory in the first-ever Ranji Trophy match came as the first historic moments here, followed by India securing their first Test win in 1951-52 against England. The ground stood witness to Sunil Gavaskar achieving his 30th Test century here in 1983-84.
However, it’s not just records that define Chepauk but also its passionate and knowledgeable crowd. They’ve shown immense sportsmanship, applauding Saeed Anwar’s 194 in 1997 and even celebrating Pakistan’s win in 1999 with a lap of honor.
