Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2027 · 2nd Test · Built to Watch

India vs Australia — Chennai

M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk · Jan 29 – Feb 2, 2027

India's second-oldest Test ground still in use, after Eden Gardens — and the venue for one of the sport's rarest results: the second tied Test in history, India vs Australia, 1986. Chepauk's crowd is part of the fixture; this is one of the loudest grounds on the tour.

Touching down in Chennai

Arrival

Land in Chennai, private transfer to your hotel, evening at leisure.

Test Match Window — Fri 29 Jan – Tue 2 Feb (Day 1–5 of play)

India vs Australia — 2nd Test, M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk

Flexible, by day

Test cricket runs up to five days, and few travelers watch every session — most build a trip around two or three days at the ground and use the rest of the window for the city itself. A result can also arrive early; we plan the stay with that flexibility in mind rather than locking you into a fixed schedule. Free time between sessions for Marina Beach, a few minutes from the ground.

Departure — flexible

Departure

Typically 2–4 days after arrival

Check out and transfer to the airport whenever your chosen days at the ground wrap up.
