President Ram Nath Kovind on Wednesday (February 24) will inaugurate the Motera Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad where the third test between India and England will kick-off.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will also be present on the occasion.

Spread over 63 acres, the Motera stadium has been billed to be the world’s largest cricket stadium with a seating capacity of a whopping 1,10,000. It houses 76 corporate boxes, an Olympic-level swimming pool, an indoor academy, four dressing rooms for athletes, and food courts.
