IPL grounds by boundary size

The 29 grounds on this site that have hosted IPL cricket, ranked by playing area. The largest is Ekana Stadium in Lucknow (75 × 76 m); the smallest is Buffalo Park in East London (65 × 56 m). Holkar Stadium produces the most sixes per match at 17.2.

Boundary size is not the only thing driving that column — altitude, pitch, and squad make-up all move it — but the two track each other closely enough to be worth reading side by side.

Not every venue here is in India. Ten of the 29 are not: the competition has played a full season and several part-seasons away from home, in South Africa and U.A.E. They are in the list because IPL cricket has been played on them.

A caveat specific to this list. A rope is brought in for T20 cricket, sometimes by ten metres, so an IPL boundary is the innermost line a ground uses rather than its usual one. Three of the figures below are that innermost line, taken from IPL broadcast graphics — Wankhede, MA Chidambaram, Narendra Modi. The rest are typical positions. Each ground page says which kind of figure it carries, and where a ground's provenance has not been traced the site does not guess.
