A source-led overview of Indian Cement Company Ground in Sankar Nagar, covering its identity, historic surface change, documented matches, location and practical visitor checks.
Indian Cement Company Ground is a domestic cricket venue at Sankar Nagar in Tirunelveli district, Tamil Nadu. CricketArchive uses this name, while ESPNcricinfo currently lists the venue as Chennai Super Kings Ground and gives Indian Cement Company Ground as an alternate name. Developed in the 1960s, it has staged Ranji Trophy and Tamil Nadu Premier League cricket; the alternate listing is presented for identification, not as evidence of a formal legal rename.
A responsible Indian Cement Company Ground Tirunelveli pitch report starts with the documented surface history rather than a permanent batting or bowling label.
The venue’s history links early industrial-town cricket with later first-class and Tamil Nadu Premier League fixtures.
