3/5
Motera Stadium is the largest cricket ground in the world in terms of spectator capacity. One lakh spectators can enjoy the match at this stadium at once. Earlier, the Melbourne Cricket Stadium in Australia had a capacity of 90,000 spectators. However, Motera Stadium is larger than Melbourne Stadium.
4/5
No floodlights are required in any stadium in India. LED lights were used instead of floodlights in Motera Stadium. It is also the first stadium in the country to emit LED lights.
5/5
Instead of floodlights, LED lights were installed on the stadium roof. Due to the boundary LED lights, players have no trouble watching the ball well in night matches. The shadow of the players in the stadium is also unlikely to fall. The use of LED lights does not reflect shadows.
