Lalbhai Contractor Stadium, located in Surat, Gujarat, is owned by the Surat District Cricket Association (SDCA). Inaugurated in 1993 with a Duleep Trophy match, the stadium has hosted various prestigious events like the Ranji Trophy and Irani Cup. It made its international debut during the 2019 South Africa Women’s tour of India, hosting all five WT20Is. The stadium was established with a donation of land by Kanaiyalal and Jyoti Contractor in memory of their father, Shri Lalbhai Ramjibhai Contractor. In 2009, it underwent a major renovation, and for the 15th IPL season, Chennai Super Kings used it as their preparation ground.
