The Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur is situated in the picturesque state of Rajasthan, India. Though the stadium has hosted only one Test, it is has hosted a number of ODIs.
In the only Test match hosted here, India played Pakistan in a watch that had the Pakistani President Gen Zia-ul-Haq in the audience on the second day. The Test was drawn, but it was more of a peace building fixture than a cricketing contest. The ground has hosted many ODIs, some of them being World Cup (1987 and 1992) matches as well. The stadium will now host some matches of the 2006 Champions Trophy.
In one of the most electrifying innings played here, the Sawai Mansingh Stadium had the privilege of witnessing Mahendra Singh Dhoni hit his highest score of 183 against Sri Lanka in October 2005.
