Cricket-crazy Indians have a lot to cheer about. The country, where cricket is not less than a religion, is creating what is set to be the largest cricket stadium in the world. It will be significantly bigger than Australia’s Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Situated in Motera close Ahmedabad in Gujarat, is entitled Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium, the stadium is supposed to be prepared in the following two years. In October 2015, the stadium was demolished to begin for a large scale reconstruction. The renovated stadium is designed to be like the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
First pictures of the arena, which is in its underlying development stage, was shared by Gujarat Cricket Association VP Parimal Nathwani on Sunday.

The development of the world’s largest cricket stadium, which will leave behind the notable like Melbourne, Eden Gardens and Perth stadiums, and which can welcome in 110,000 spectators, is in progress.
The project’s estimated cost is set around Rs 700 crore. The new cricket stadium will be expanded over roughly 63 acres of land and will supposedly display a clubhouse with more than 50 rooms, four dressing areas, 76 corporate boxes, three practice grounds for cricketers, an indoor cricket training academy, an Olympic size swimming pool, a parking zone that can accommodate around 3,000 four-wheeler and up to 10,000 bikes, and much more.
Motera has seen some incredible accomplishments of Indian cricket history:
Sachin scored 18000 ODI runs, first and the only cricketer to achieve this accomplishment.
Sunil Gavaskar finished 10,000 runs in Test cricket in 1986– 87 against Pakistan.
In October 1999, Sachin Tendulkar scored his first Test double hundred out of a match against New Zealand.
