Pune sporting venues and local context
MCA Cricket Stadium, Gahunje, Pune is the BCCI venue label for this match. The Maharashtra Cricket Association’s own site names the facility MCA International Stadium and gives its address as Gahunje, Maval, Pune 412101. Gahunje is therefore retained as the full locality context while Pune remains the verified host-city label. The discovery row uses the shorter name Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium; the primary sources provide the more specific naming used here.

Cricket events in Pune: Ranji Trophy at Gahunje
Pune’s verified cricket event is Maharashtra VS Jharkhand, one Ranji Trophy Elite first-class match scheduled from Sunday 18 October through Wednesday 21 October 2026. The official BCCI match centre records the opening start as 04:00 UTC on 18 October, or 09:30 IST. It does not publish a finish time or separate daily starts, so the four-day range should not be read as four separate Pune cricket events.
The named ground is MCA Cricket Stadium, Gahunje, Pune. For locality precision, the Maharashtra Cricket Association calls the facility MCA International Stadium and gives the address as Gahunje, Maval, Pune 412101. That distinction matters when you compare the Maharashtra VS Jharkhand event details with broader sports events in Pune. This is a watch listing, not a participation registration. The reviewed sources do not establish event-specific tickets, prices, public admission or entry conditions, so confirm those independently before making plans. For the wider calendar, use sports events by city.

Pune cricket matchday planning: check Gahunje and the opening time
For Pune cricket matchday planning, start with the venue label rather than a generic Pune search. BCCI identifies the ground as MCA Cricket Stadium, Gahunje, Pune; the Maharashtra Cricket Association gives the fuller locality as Gahunje, Maval, Pune 412101 and uses the name MCA International Stadium. Check both names against the event record before you set out, because the locality is part of the verified venue context.
The fixture is Maharashtra VS Jharkhand in the Ranji Trophy Elite, running from 18 to 21 October 2026. Use the BCCI match centre for the precise first start: 04:00 UTC, or 09:30 IST, on Sunday 18 October. BCCI does not provide a finish time or separate daily session starts, so don’t build a plan around an assumed end or a fixed timetable for later days. Also, a listed match is not proof of public admission. Ticket inventory, prices, parking, gate arrangements and registration availability were not verified. Recheck the official notice and current access information, then compare other sports events in Pune or the city events directory if timing changes.

Before attending a Pune sports event

This is a watch listing for a first-class Ranji Trophy match. The reviewed sources do not confirm public admission, ticket availability, prices, parking or access arrangements, so do not treat FixtureCalendar’s generic ‘Buy Tickets’ label or MCA’s generic ticket section as event-specific inventory.
Recheck the official BCCI match page and Maharashtra Cricket Association channels before travel or attendance; schedules and operational arrangements can change after the 16 October 2026 research check.
