The stadium's first one-day international was held in 1988, when West Indies beat India by 73 runs, a match in which [[Narendra Hirwani]] made his one-day debut. Floodlights were installed in preparation for the [[1996 Cricket World Cup]] fixture, also between India and West Indies. The stadium was also the venue for the first and only day-night [[Ranji Trophy]] final in 1996. The match was played
between [[Mumbai cricket team|Mumbai]] and [[Delhi cricket team|Delhi]] over five days and Mumbai won on the basis of a first-innings lead.

The pitch at the Captain Roop Singh Stadium has traditionally favoured the batsmen. In eight of the 10 ODIs, the team batting first has scored over 250. It has also been very lucky for most of the cricketers from India in [[India]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/ground/58119.html|title=Captain Roop Singh Stadium – India – Cricket Grounds – ESPN Cricinfo|access-date=7 November 2016}}</ref> especially [[Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar]].

In May 1998, [[Kenya cricket team|Kenya]] beat [[India cricket team|India]] by 69 runs in ODI for first time. As [[Kenya cricket team|Kenya]] sailed confidently into the final of Coca-Cola Triangular Series.

It was their fifth win at this level, and their second over a Test nation. [[Ravindu Shah]] notching his third fifty in only his fourth [[one-day international]], dominated the first phase of the innings. When he fell for 70 including 50 in boundaries, the score was 93. For once, [[Kenya cricket team|Kenya]] built on their sound start.

[[Maurice Odumbe]] peppered his 91-ball 83 with five sixes, while [[Hitesh Modi]] contributed a run-a-ball fifty. In [[India cricket team|India]]'s reply, eight batsmen made it to double figures, but none beyond 33. [[Maurice Odumbe]] followed his biggest score in [[one-day internationals]] with his best bowling, taking three for 14 with his off-spin.
