The Indian opener Rohit Sharma is currently recovering from a calf injury that he suffered during the fifth and final T20 match against New Zealand, which ruled him out of the playing squad for the ODI and Test series. However, you can keep Rohit Sharma out of cricket for some time but you can’t take cricket out of Rohit Sharma.
On Wednesday, Rohit Sharma took to his Twitter to express his excitement to play in the newly built Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a jaw-dropping picture of the stadium via their official Twitter account.
For your information, we should tell you that the Motera Stadium or the Sardar Patel Stadium is set to be the largest cricket stadium in the world. It has a capacity of 1,10,000 seatings.
The old structure of the stadium was taken down in the year 2015. The last international match that was played in this stadium was the ODI match between India and Sri Lanka in the year 2014. Since then no match was played on this stadium.
Sharing the picture of the stadium, BCCI wrote:
“The Sun is out! ?
#MoteraStadium
Ahmedabad, India ??”
