Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Motera cricket stadium, the world’s largest cricket stadium, has been renamed from Sardar Patel Stadium to Narendra Modi Stadium.
- Motera Stadium, is a cricket stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
- India’s Test against England is the first match at the brand new Motera, the name of the place, after it was refurbished and converted into a 110,000-seater facility, making it the biggest cricket ground in the world in terms of capacity.
Naming it after a politician was in line with a decades-old practice in Indian sport, especially cricket.
