The Barabati Stadium in the Cuttack last witnessed a One-Day International cricket match on December 22, 2019. It was played between India and West Indies. Since an ODI has returned to the stadium after a long gap, cricket fans are very excited. However, the hike in ticket prices announced by the OCA earlier left them dejected.

Commenting on the ticket price hike, OCA secretary, Sanjay Behera had justified the price hike, saying the increase in ancillary expenses forced them to do so.
