The world’s largest cricket stadium, Narendra Modi Stadium (previously known as Motera Stadium), has become one of the most iconic venues in the sport since its renovation in 2020. The ground has been hosting matches since 1983, including the ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup, and Champions Trophy.
Since it’s rebranding, defending low scores has become cumbersome in Ahmedabad. Previously, it was a spin-friendly venue where teams could win while batting first or chasing.
