The Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium (formerly Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium) is a cricket stadium owned and operated by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) and located on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg, New Delhi. It was established in 1883 as the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, and named after the nearby Kotla fort. It is situated on land that is a historical part of Ferozabad, the 14th-century city established by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq in 1354 CE. It is within the fortified city and shares historical proximity with the surviving structures of the Kotla complex, such as the Jami Masjid. It is the second-oldest functional international cricket stadium in India, after the Eden Gardens of Kolkata. As of 25 October 2019, it has hosted 36 Tests, 29 ODIs and 6 T20I.
In a 2017 felicitation ceremony, the DDCA named four stands of the stadium after former India captain Bishan Singh Bedi, former India all-rounder Mohinder Amarnath, former India and Delhi opener Gautam Gambhir. The home team's dressing room was named after Raman Lamba and the away dressing room after Prakash Bhandari.
On 12 September 2019, the stadium was renamed in memory of former DDCA President and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, after his death on 24 August 2019. The stadium was officially renamed at a function that took place on 12 September 2019. One of the stands of the stadium was named after former Indian captain Virat Kohli on the same date. The name change has been criticised by former Indian captain Bishan Singh Bedi. After announcing the name change, DDCA clarified that only the stadium had been renamed and that the ground would be still called the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground.
As of 2024, the India national cricket team had been undefeated for over 37 years in Test matches. India's 11-year unbeaten run in ODIs was brought to an end during New Zealand's tour of India in 2016-17 where New Zealand defeated India by 6 runs.
