India’s newly renovated cricket stadium, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium or commonly known as the Motera stadium, now renamed as Narendra Modi Stadium is the largest stadium in the world. It is situated in Ahmedabad, Gujarat in India. This is an unknown fact for many as this stadium isn’t as famous as the MCG, Lords, Wembley or Eden Gardens.
