India VS West Indies T20: Teams to Arrive in Indore Today, Holkar Stadium Gears Up For Sunday Clash

Preparations are nearing completion in Indore as India and West Indies prepare to face off in a T20 match at Holkar Stadium on October 11. The teams are set to land in the city by chartered flights on Saturday, October 10, at around 2:40 pm, with logistics for their transport, lodging, and safety already in place. The Indian squad will reside at Radisson Hotel while the West Indies players will be housed at Marriott Hotel.

Traffic routes have been planned to oversee player transportation from the airport to the hotels and then to the stadium for practice sessions.

Security measures are being implemented around the teams’ lodgings and the stadium, with dedicated routes for the players to move between the airport, hotels, and the Holkar Stadium. Enhanced CCTV surveillance, turnstiles, and facial recognition technology are among the security protocols, though the final execution will depend on official confirmation.

Both sides have prepared practice pitches at Holkar Stadium - two outside the stadium and two inside - designed to replicate the conditions of the main ground. Despite no mandatory official practice sessions, the players will determine their training routine, potentially influenced by the dew management strategy given Holkar Stadium’s reputation for a favorable batting surface.
