The stadium will be unveiled on February 24. Sharing a picture tweeted by BCCI, Rohit wrote, "Looks amazing heard so much about it, can't wait to play there @BCCI.”

 

 

Located in Ahmedabad, the Motera Stadium was constructed in 1982 with a seating capacity of 49,000 at the time of construction. Now, the seating capacity has been increased to contain 110,000 spectators, beating the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, which has the seating capacity of 66,000 spectators.
