Narendra Modi Stadium
Ahmedabad, India
The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad stands apart in cricket not for its age, but for the sheer scale of its recent transformation. It sits in the Motera area, surrounded by the dense urban sprawl of Gujarat.
Inside, the scale becomes overwhelming. The pitch itself is a perfect rectangle of green, set centrally within this massive bowl. The view from the upper tiers shows just how much space there is, with the crowd looking small from above. It is a place built for spectacle, where the numbers are bigger than anywhere else in the sport.
The ground has seen its share of history, from hosting World Cup matches in previous decades to staging the final of the 2023 tournament. It is now the home of the Gujarat Titans, a franchise that has brought a new energy to the local game. The stadium reopened after a complete rebuild, a project that turned the old venue into something entirely new. It is not just a cricket ground; it is a statement of ambition, visible from every angle.
