A source-led history of Daly College Ground, also known as Scindia Cricket Ground, from its documented early match record through first-class, List A and school-cricket eras.
Daly College Ground sits within the Daly College campus in Indore and is also identified by specialist sources as Scindia Cricket Ground. CricketArchive records matches at the ground from the 1933/34 season through 2023/24. The college’s own synopsis adds an important campus-level context: its two BCCI-approved cricket grounds have hosted Ranji Trophy matches. That statement does not identify which ground hosted each fixture, so this history keeps the ground record and the wider college context separate.
CricketArchive lists the first match in its Daly College Ground database in the 1933/34 season. This is the earliest date in the specialist record, not a claimed opening date for the ground. The available sources do not establish when the playing field itself was created.
A secondary ground history, citing CricketArchive scorecards, records five first-class matches involving Holkar and Madhya Pradesh between 1955 and 2001. It is a useful outline of the ground’s higher-level cricket past, while the linked specialist match records remain the right place to verify each fixture.
The same cited record summary reports ten List A matches at the ground from 2002 to 2005. It identifies Uttar Pradesh v Railways in 2002 as the first of that List A run. These are match-history milestones, not evidence of a change in the ground’s ownership or facilities.
Daly College’s official pages describe a school that has evolved since 1870 and list patrons since 1882. Those are college milestones, not verified dates for Daly College Ground. The official synopsis says the campus has two BCCI-approved cricket grounds that have hosted Ranji Trophy matches; it does not assign individual matches to this ground.
CricketArchive lists the last match in its database in the 2023/24 season and provides separate links for first-class, List A, women’s List A, Twenty20, Ranji Trophy and miscellaneous records. Daly College’s cricket page says the school remains a home for promising cricketers. In this current editorial review, the documented match span is clear; an individual-ground opening date, operator, capacity and public access rules are not independently verified.
The ground is identified within Daly College campus at Residency Area, Indore, Madhya Pradesh 452001. For current venue context, see the Daly College Ground overview, matches and records pages.
