The Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium was renamed the Arun Jaitley Stadium in September 2019 after the death of the former Delta & Delhi Cricket Association (DDCA) president of the same name. However, many people still refer to the stadium by its old name.
The Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium is located on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg in New Delhi. It was named after the fortress of the same name which stood in and around the area in 1354, and of which some structures still stand to this day. In 1883, a portion of the grounds was converted into a cricket ground which is where the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium stands today.
The stadium is known to be amongst the oldest cricket stadiums in India, with the first test match held between India and the West Indies way back in November of 1948. The Kotla has since played host to several test matches, three ODI Cricket World Cups and several ICC World Twenty20 matches.
The Delhi Capitals, formerly known as the Delhi Daredevils of the Indian Premier League, as well as the Delhi cricket team, call the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium their home grounds. Team India, the Indian national cricket team, has been known to play at the stadium as well.
