Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium — visitor guide
Sunrisers Hyderabad play out in Uppal, and on match day the smartest move is the metro — Stadium station on the Blue Line is the closest stop, with NGRI right behind it. There’s no parking at the ground itself, so the official event guide pushes public transport or a cab. One more thing worth knowing: your entry gate is printed on your digital ticket, and trying a different one just gets you redirected.
