The stadiums
1) IS Bindra PCA Stadium, Mohali — Punjab Kings' home ground, 27,000 capacity, hosts 5–6 IPL matches a year (April–May). Tickets $12–80. Match-day atmosphere is loud, food is decent, and the metro-adjacent location makes exit painless.
2) Guru Nanak Stadium, Amritsar — smaller Ranji-format ground, occasional international friendlies. Free public entry for domestic matches, and the tea-time crowds are half local retirees.
The lived-in game
3) Punjab Agricultural University grounds, Ludhiana — every evening 5–7pm the students run 4 simultaneous matches. Sit on the wall, watch the future of Punjab cricket. 4) Sukhna Lake evening cricket, Chandigarh — the gully-cricket democracy in action, ages 8 to 60 playing on the grass.
5) Any village kacha ground on GT Road at sunset — this is where Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, and Shubman Gill grew up playing. Stop the car, watch for 20 minutes, understand where the state's cricket dominance comes from.
