The Narendra Modi Stadium, commonly known as the Motera Stadium is the largest cricket stadium in the world, with a seating capacity of 132,000 spectators. The stadium is owned by the Gujarat Cricket Association and is the home ground of the Gujarat Cricket Team.

The stadium was constructed in 1983 and was first renovated in 2006. In 2015 it was demolished before being completely rebuilt by February 2020. The total area of the stadium is equivalent to 32 Olympic-size football fields put together.

It is currently the only cricket stadium in the world to have four dressing rooms for the players and is also the only stadium in the world with 11 center pitches on the main ground. After reconstruction, this stadium hosted the first-ever pink ball Test match between India and England in 2021.

This ground has been the home for several World Cup games, including the 2011 World Cup which was won by India under the leadership of MS Dhoni. Sachin Tendulkar completed his 20 years of International Cricket in the stadium and also completed the landmark of 30000 international runs.
