What's the story

Defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT) will meet four-time winners Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the opener of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday (March 31).

Ahmedabad's colossal Narendra Modi Stadium will host the blockbuster clash.

GT will play seven of their 14 matches here and they would like to make this venue their fortress.

Here are the key stats of the venue.

Report 

Largest cricket stadium in the world 

Previously known as the Motera Stadium, the venue is the world's largest cricket stadium with a seating capacity of 1,10,000 spectators.

In 2015, the stadium was demolished for renovation and inaugurated again in 2021.

The track offers assistance to spinners.

However, the quick outfield gives the batters good returns for their shots.

The toss-winning skipper would want to chase due to the dew factor.
