One of the most iconic stadiums in the country, Mohali has the distinction of hosting the semifinals of the 1996 and the 2011 World Cups.
The 2011 World Cup semifinal was one of the most watched games in cricketing history as the PCA Stadium hosted the marquee clash between India and Pakistan where political leaders and sporting legends from both countries were present to witness the clash.
“The exclusion of Punjab’s Mohali from the list of host cities for the tournament was due to political interference. Punjab government will raise this issue with BCCI,” Hayer said.
Apart from hosting two 50-over World Cup semifinals, the PCA Stadium hosted the India-Australia clash during the 2016 T20 World Cup where Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 82 off 51 balls in a virtual quarterfinal knockout game as India won by six wickets with five balls to spare.
