'''Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium''' (Motera Stadium) is one of the premier [[cricket]] [[List of Test cricket grounds|stadiums]] of [[India]] in the [[Motera]] locality of [[Ahmedabad]]. Because of its location, the stadium is commonly called 'Motera Stadium' to avoid confusion with another [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium, Ahmedabad|stadium of the same name]] in Navrangpura, Ahmedabad. Sardar Patel stadium is owned by [[Gujarat Cricket Association]] and comes under the aegis of the West Zone. It is equipped with floodlights for day-and-night games and is a regular venue for [[Test cricket]] and [[One Day Internationals]] (ODI) matches. It is currently undergoing redevelopment after being demolished completely in late 2015.<ref>{{cite web|title=Motera Stadium demolished|url=http://www.bhaskar.com/news/GUJ-AHM-OMC-sardar-patel-stadium-at-motera-demolished-in-ahmedabad-5297477-PHO.html}}</ref> The new stadium will be the largest cricket stadium in the world with a seating capacity of 110,000 spectators, overtaking the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]] in Australia.<ref>[http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/foundation-stone-laid-at-ahmedabad-for-worlds-largest-cricket-stadium-4477385/ Foundation stone laid at Ahmedabad for ‘world’s largest cricket stadium’]</ref><ref>{{Citation|title=World's largest cricket stadium to come up in Ahmedabad {{!}} The Economic Times Video {{!}} ET Tv|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/et-tv/worlds-largest-cricket-stadium-to-come-up-in-ahmedabad/videoshow/56617631.cms|accessdate=2017-01-17}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/motera-cricket-stadium-in-ahmedabad-to-become-world-s-biggest/story-l3pOXuFvemNoX3Pl4qrObO.html|title=Motera cricket stadium in Ahmedabad to become world’s biggest|date=2017-01-17|newspaper=http://www.hindustantimes.com/|access-date=2017-01-17}}</ref>
