The stadium was designed by Arun Loomba and Associates.[5] The construction of the stadium took around ₹250 million and 3 years to complete.[6]
The stadium was inaugurated on 22 November 1993 with a One Day International match between India and South Africa during the 1993 Hero Cup.
The first Test match here was held the following season, between India and West Indies on 10 December 1994.[7] One of the most famous one-day matches on this ground was a thrilling Cricket World Cup semi-final encounter between Australia and West Indies in February 1996. I. S. Bindra stadium hosted 3 matches of 2011 World Cup including the second semi-final match between India and Pakistan on 30 March 2011, which India won. The match was attended by the Prime Ministers Manmohan Singh of India and Yousaf Raza Gillani of Pakistan, owing to its crucial nature, and as a measure of cricket diplomacy for normalizing relations.
The first Test of the 2015 Freedom Trophy was played at the stadium, where spinners obtained considerable assistance from the pitch.
The first T20I at the ground was held in 2009, when India beat Sri Lanka by 6 wickets. It also hosted three matches of the 2016 ICC World Twenty20.
