The Motera Stadium of Ahmedabad underwent a total renovation as the stadium&#8217;s seating capacity has now increased from 54,000 to 1,10,000. Motera will overtake Melbourne Cricket Ground as the world&#8217;s largest cricket stadium once it inaugurates. The stadium has been in the news because of US President Donald Trump&#8217;s arrival. The American President will visit the stadium on 24th February.

He was supposed to inaugurate the stadium as well however, the sources close to the development informed that Trump was never going to inaugurate the stadium. The sources even informed that an Indian will inaugurate the stadium because Motera is every Indian&#8217;s pride. So, now the big dilemma is&#8211; who will inaugurate the stadium?

Here are the 5 Indian personalities who can open the Motera Stadium of Ahmedabad:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-333133" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Narendra-Modi.jpg" alt="Narendra Modi" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-333133" class="wp-caption-text">Narendra Modi. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

The likeliest non-cricketing personality who can inaugurate this grand stadium is India&#8217;s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. The honourable Indian Prime Minister had laid down the foundation for this stadium and it was his dream to have the world&#8217;s biggest cricket stadium in his home state, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ks-bharat-turns-superman-takes-a-one-handed-stunner-against-gujarat-in-ranji-trophy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gujarat</a>. Now that the project is complete, he will look to open the ground for cricket matches.

One of the main reasons why Narendra Modi can inaugurate the stadium is that he is an ardent follower of the Indian cricket team. The fans had seen how he was behind the team during the 2019 World Cup.

Thus, Narendra Modi will look to give a go ahead to hosting stadiums in the iconic stadium by officially inaugurating stadium on an auspicious day. This could be one of the biggest opening ceremonies of all time.

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has broken multiple records on and off the cricket field. While everyone is aware of his incredible performances on the cricket field, Kohli recently became the first Indian celebrity to have 50 million followers on the photo-sharing site, Instagram. This shows the immense popularity of King Kohli.

While the captain of the Indian cricket team is yet to formally express his excitement to play in front of 1,10,000 fans, the cricket universe is sure that Kohli would have a wish to play in the stadium soon.

If the opening ceremony takes place on the day when <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/motera-stadium-front-runner-to-host-the-ipl-all-stars-game/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Motera </a>hosts its first match then, Virat Kohli can be chosen as the one to open the stadium because he is one of the most inspirational players in the team right now.

(Photo by Sydney Seshibedi/Gallo Images/Getty Images)</figcaption>

This name may surprise a lot of fans but the fact of the matter is that Parthiv Patel is the greatest player to play for Gujarat in the 21st century. The fans should note that this stadium will fall under the Gujarat Cricket Association and the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, Cheteshwar Pujara, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/i-hope-hardik-pandya-plays-some-cricket-before-the-ipl-says-mumbai-indians-bowling-coach-shane-bond/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hardik Pandya</a>, Irfan Pathan play for the other state associations.

Parthiv Patel has single-handedly shouldered the Gujarat domestic team. He has led the team to the Ranji Trophy title, Vijay Hazare Trophy championship as well as the Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy.

The left-handed wicket-keeper batsman recently breached the 11,000 runs milestone in first-class cricket and since a majority of them have come for Gujarat, Patel could be chosen as the one to inaugurate the stadium.

(Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

BCCI President, Sourav Ganguly is pretty excited for the opening of Motera 2.0 and he even expressed his eagerness on Twitter recently when BCCI uploaded a photo on social media. Ganguly has changed the landscape of BCCI ever since he took over the Presidential position. Unlike previous times, there is no longer opaqueness in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/indian-fans-panic-after-bcci-shares-picture-of-the-pitch-at-basin-reserve-ahead-of-the-first-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BCCI</a>.

Ganguly has even given several new ideas to Indian cricket like the All-Star match in IPL and also, the 4-nation Super Series that will start in the coming years.

This plan will definitely boost the revenue of the board and given that Ganguly is one of the most influential persons in the history of Indian cricket, he will look to open the stadium with 1,10,000 capacity.

5. The 1983 World Cup-winning team

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-76967" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Kapil-Dev-1.jpg" alt="Kapil Dev World Cup News" width="600" height="407" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-76967" class="wp-caption-text">Kapil Dev. (Photo by Patrick Eagar/Patrick Eagar Collection via Getty Images)</figcaption>

A lot of cricket fans would be aware that the &#8217;83 movie is launching soon which revolves around the journey of the Indian team to the 1983 World Cup win. Many people believe that India would not have been a superpower in the cricket world had Kapil Dev and his men not won the ODI World Cup back in the year 1983.

That team gave millions of people the inspiration to play cricket and that is the reason why India got players like Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli and many others.

While India has won many trophies in world cricket after that, the fans will always have a special place for the 1983 World Cup team because they slew the dominant<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/niroshan-dickwella-and-thisara-perera-named-in-sri-lanka-squad-for-west-indies-odi-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> West Indies</a> team and won the trophy outside India. Thus, the chances that the 1983 World Cup team opens the stadium are very high.

The Motera Stadium of Ahmedabad underwent a total renovation as the stadium’s seating capacity has now increased from 54,000 to 1,10,000.

5 Indian personalities who can inaugurate the newly-built Motera Stadium

The stadium has been in the news because of US President Donald Trump's arrival. The American President will visit the stadium on 24th February.
