Nehru Stadium hosted nine One Day International cricket matches between 1983 and 2001.
The stadium's original name was Yeshwant Club Ground before its redevelopment and renaming.
It was the site of the infamous 1997 ODI match against Sri Lanka which was abandoned after three overs due to an unfit pitch.
The ground remains a primary center for local Indore Divisional Cricket Association league matches.
The surrounding garden serves as a local environmental buffer in the densely populated Navlakha district.
Nehru Stadium Garden is a public green space located within the perimeter of the historic Nehru Stadium in Indore. The stadium formerly served as a premier venue for international cricket matches before the Holkar Stadium assumed that role. The surrounding garden area functions as a community recreational zone for morning walkers and local residents. It features paved walkways encircling the stadium grounds and scattered patches of lawn. The site is situated at the busy Nehru Stadium Square intersection in the Navlakha area. It serves as an open-air public facility rather than a manicured botanical garden. The area maintains historical significance as a landmark of Indore's mid-20th-century urban sports infrastructure.
