  • The newly-refurbished Motera Stadium has been renamed the Narendra Modi Stadium after the Prime Minister.

    The venue is notably the world's largest with a seating capacity of 1,10,000 spectators. It will host the pink-ball Test between India and England from Wednesday.

    Here are more details.

    "Besides being the largest cricket stadium, it's also one of the most modern stadiums in the world," Rijiju added.
