The ground
How the ground was built
1 min read
Three friends turned a steep hillside at Padechi, near Mehli, into a cricket ground over about four years.
The idea began in 2021. The site at Padechi, on the outskirts of Shimla near Mehli, was a steep hillside, so building the ground meant cutting into the hill on one side and filling the valley side to make level ground.
Moving the hill
More than 70,000 tipper loads of debris were moved, and retaining walls about 150 m long hold the slope. The work took about four years.
The playing area
The playing area is about 120 m by 90 m, laid with American grass.
Details are as reported by The Tribune, The News Himachal and Janta Times TV.
