The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is the world’s largest cricket venue with a capacity of approximately 132,000 seats. Rebuilt between 2015 and 2020, the facility was designed by Populous to feature a bowl-shaped layout and a specialized pedestrian access system.

In October 2026, the stadium was the target of a bomb threat sent via email during an international Under-19 cricket match between India and Australia. Authorities later declared the threat a hoax. The threatening messages utilized pro-Khalistan pseudonyms and slogans, such as ‘Bolega Khalistan’ and ‘Khalistan Zindabad’. The sender also targeted upcoming concert dates for singer Diljit Dosanjh at both the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi and the Narendra Modi Stadium.
