Indian stadiums have hosted a large number of cricket matches in the recent past. In 2022 alone, the Indian cricket team has hosted several teams at the home stadiums. Even IPL 2022 happened fully in India, while tournaments like Road Safety World Series and Legends League Cricket preferred India as the host country as well.
