3. MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
The Chepauk has hosted 34 Tests with the first one going the England's way on the same tour of India (1933-34) as mentioned in the introductory paragraph. While several memorable matches have been played at the venue, a particularly unique game was the first Test against Australia in 1986, which ended in a tie. Notably, the Player of the Match award was also shared between Kapil Dev and Dean Jones.
Other noteworthy matches at the venue include the first two games of the four-match Test series against England in 2021. While the first game marked a remarkable start to the series for the visitors courtesy of the then-skipper, Joe Root, notching up his fifth double-century in Tests, the second one was completely dominated by India with bowling all-rounder, Ravichandran Ashwin, powering India's cause courtesy of his fifth century in Tests and eight wickets in the match.
