India — where cricket is nothing less than a religion — is all set to open the world’s largest stadium in March 2020. Apart from being the world’s largest, Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium at Motera near Ahmedabad will have three different kinds of pitches. They will range from bouncy, spin friendly, or a mix of both — to suit the need of fast bowlers and spinners. The Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) which is executing the project, is preparing as many as 11 pitches.
