RCA Open Two Stands At Sawai Mansingh Stadium Ahead of Rohit Sharma's Outing in Mumbai vs Uttarakhand VHT 2025-26 Match
The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) is opening two more stands to its international stadium, significantly increasing capacity in anticipation of high fan demand. This comes in anticipation of Mumbai's VHT 2025-26 match against Uttarakhand which will feature Rohit Sharma.
The Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) has announced the imminent opening of two additional stands at its international cricket stadium, a strategic move designed to significantly boost seating capacity. This expansion comes as the association anticipates a surge in fan attendance, particularly for the high-profile match featuring former India captain Rohit Sharma.

Capacity Boost and Fan Experience
The addition of these new stands is expected to increase the stadium's overall spectator capacity by several thousand, addressing a long-standing need for enhanced viewing opportunities. RCA officials stated that the decision was driven by the overwhelming response seen in Mumbai's first Vijay Hazare Trophy 2025-26 match against Sikkim, where Rohit Sharma hit a magnificent 155. The aim is to provide a more comfortable and accessible experience for a larger number of fans.
Anticipating Star Power
The specific mention of Rohit Sharma highlights the immense draw of top international players. His presence, whether in an Indian team fixture or an Indian Premier League (IPL) match, consistently leads to sold-out venues and intense ticketing demand across the country. This forward-thinking approach by the RCA aims to mitigate potential overcrowding and ensure that more enthusiasts can witness live cricket action, thereby capitalizing on the appeal of star players and major tournaments.

Rajasthan's Cricket Ambitions
The RCA has been actively working to elevate Rajasthan's cricketing infrastructure. The new international stadium, currently under construction in Chonp village near Jaipur, is envisioned as one of the largest cricket stadiums globally. The initial phase aims for a capacity of approximately 40,000 spectators, with plans for eventual expansion to 75,000. This current expansion of two stands aligns with the broader goal of making Rajasthan a premier destination for international and domestic cricket, attracting more high-profile events, and boosting local sports tourism.
