Time to move on from the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), as an Indian stadium at Motera in Ahmedabad, is set to become the largest cricket stadium in the world.
Australian company Populous, architect of the MCG, also happens to be the principal architect of the Sardar Patel Stadium, commonly known as the Motera Stadium.
Spread across 63 acres, the 1,10,000 seat-stadium will have a capacity more than double of that of the old facility and can hold 10,000 more people than the MCG.
The stadium will include 76 corporate boxes, four dressing rooms, state-of-the-art club facilities with three practice grounds, an indoor cricket academy and an Olympic-size swimming pool.
With an estimated cost of Rs 700 crore, the work in and around the stadium is on in full flow and the construction is expected to be fully completed by January 2020.
