The Kotla Vijayabhaskara Reddy Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad

Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium

Kotla Vijay Bhaskar Reddy Indoor Stadium is an indoor sporting arena located in Hyderabad, India. The capacity of the arena is 2,000 people. It hosted some events for the Afro-Asian Games in 2003.

This stadia has the a lot of potential talent in the form of children who come to learn Badminton and Basketball, and of late, also Roller Skating.

The administrator of this stadium is Mr. Nani Prasad, who works for the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP), the government department which looks after the sports affairs of the state of Andhra Pradesh.

Since November 2007 the stadium has opened for practice Hyderabad's biggest roller skating rink, which is a 100m flat track. This rink was finally built by SAAP for the skaters of Mr. Abbas Iqbal Lasania who is Andhra Pradesh's first National Roller Skating (Speed) Champion and an International Coach whose students have been representing India at International Skating Competitions, both roller and ice.

The skating rink was a dream come true for the skaters of Hyderabad and it wouldn't have been possible without the persistent endeavours of one of Mr. Lasania's students' parent Mrs. Savita Reddy.

In less than two months, Mr. Lasania's skaters from Lasania's Roller & Ice Skating Academy proved their mettle by bagging two gold medals, two silver medals, and one bronze medal at the 53rd School Games Federation National Roller Skating Championship in Ahmedabad in December 2007.

Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium (formerly known as Visakha International Stadium) is an exclusive cricket stadium in Hyderabad, India and is the home ground of the Hyderabad Cricket Association (HCA). It is located in Uppal, an eastern suburb of the city. It has a capacity of 55,000 spectators and extends across 16 acres of land. It has two ends - Pavilion End and North End.

HCA's previous home ground was the Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium in the Fateh Maidan sports complex at Basheerbagh in central Hyderabad. The ground belonged to the Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (SAAP) and HCA had limited operating autonomy over this ground. Moreover, due to its smaller size, it soon came to be known as a high-scoring ground and so Hyderabad was not considered for many high profile cricket matches in India.

In 2003, the proposal for a a new stadium was submitted by HCA to the government of Andhra Pradesh, then headed by N. Chandrababu Naidu. The proposal was quickly cleared and HCA was allocated a budget for the same. The government also identified a large piece of land suitable for the project at Uppal.

Most of the funding for the project came after an open auction of the stadium's title was held. Visakha Industries won the auction with a bid price of Rs. 650,000,000. A sum of Rs. 430,000,000 was paid in advance and the stadium was named as Visakha International Stadium in 2004.

By 2005 when most of the stadium was built, it was ready to host its first ODI Match between India and South Africa. However, Y.S. Rajashekhara Reddy of the Congress Party, the current Chief Minister decided to change the name of the stadium to Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, in memory of the former Prime Minister of India and Congress President Rajiv Gandhi.

Following this decision, HCA was required to pay Visakha Industries six times the contract price in accordance with the contract clauses governing any subsequent renaming of the stadium or the Visakha name not remaining attached to the stadium. HCA however, following some negotiations, got away by paying an amount of Rs. 430,000,000, i.e. the contract price only.
