Narendra Modi Stadium in the Motera neighbourhood of Ahmedabad in Gujarat, India, is the largest cricket ground in the world with a seating capacity of 132,000 (or 1.1 lakh) spectators.
Previously known as the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium and the Motera Stadium, the former, smaller stadium was closed and demolished in 2015 and completely rebuilt as the larger capacity present-day structure. The venue, on the banks of the Sabarmati river, hosts Test, One Day International and Twenty20 International cricket matches as well as other public events.
The new stadium was renamed Narendra Modi Stadium in February 2021, after the Indian Prime Minister and former Chief Minister of Gujarat.
