Stay at hotels near the Hyderabad cricket stadium, like Lemon Tree Premier or Marigold by GreenPark. Gorge on the world-famous Hyderabadi biryani at eateries like Paradise, Bawarchi or Shah Ghouse. You can plan some weekend getaways from Hyderabad after the IPL match too – popular locations are Ramoji Film City, Nagarjuna Sagar and Srisailam.
