Which of the highest Cricket ground in the world located in Himachal Pradesh?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 2: Chail Cricket Ground.

The Chail Cricket Ground, located in Himachal Pradesh, holds the distinction of being the highest cricket ground in the world. Built in 1893, this historic ground is situated at an elevation of approximately 2,144 meters (7,034 feet) above sea level. It was established by Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala, who, after being banished from Shimla, decided to make Chail his summer capital. The ground is surrounded by a dense deodar forest and is also used as a polo ground. Its unique altitude and picturesque setting make it a remarkable landmark in the world of sports.

The incorrect option is 1: Dharamshala cricket ground.
While the Dharamshala Cricket Ground is renowned for its stunning natural backdrop of snow-capped mountains and is one of the most picturesque stadiums, it is located at an elevation of 1,457 meters above sea level, which is lower than the Chail Cricket Ground. Therefore, it is not the highest cricket ground in the world.

The incorrect option is 3: Mashobra cricket ground.
Mashobra is a hill station near Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, known for its scenic beauty. While it might have local cricket grounds, there is no widely recognized "Mashobra cricket ground" that holds the distinction of being among the highest in the world or even in India, especially not higher than Chail.

The incorrect option is 4: None of these.
Since Chail Cricket Ground is indeed the highest cricket ground in the world and is located in Himachal Pradesh, this option is incorrect. The correct answer is explicitly provided in option 2.
