  "account": "The preparations for the India-West Indies T20 International at Holkar Stadium in Indore are progressing rapidly, set to take place on October 11. Grounds staff are hard at work on the pitch, while the outfield features a checkered mowing pattern. General ticket sales will be available online starting at 6 am on September 25. Notably, 1,200 students registered for concession tickets within minutes of the announcement on Tuesday, with the tickets being issued post-document verification. General admission tickets are priced at ₹1,000, with pavilion tickets costing ₹12,500. The pricing for other categories will be announced by the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association. The match is scheduled to commence at 7 pm and marks the third game in the five-match T20I series, with India and West Indies previously facing each other in Lucknow on October 6 and Ranchi on October 9. Following Indore, the series continues in Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Holkar Stadium has previously hosted four men's T20 Internationals, with India securing three victories and one loss. The October 11 fixture will be the fifth T20I at the stadium, and the home team boasts a 75% winning record. The stadium witnessed Rohit Sharma's impressive 35-ball century against Sri Lanka in December 2017, where India posted 260/5 and won by 88 runs. India also triumphed over Sri Lanka again in January 2020, chasing 143. However, South Africa marked India's sole T20I defeat at Holkar in October 2022, winning by 49 runs after Rilee Rossouw's century. India's most recent T20I victory at the venue was against Afghanistan in January 2024, where Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube led a successful chase of 173 for a six-wicket win. At present, the immediate focus is on ground preparations and the opening of public ticket sales ahead of the West Indies' visit.",
