Narendra Modi Stadium

Prior to 1982, international cricket matches in Ahmedabad were played at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Stadium (located in Navrangpura), owned by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation.

In 1982, the Government of Gujarat allocated a {{convert|100|acre|m2|adj=on|order=flip}} stretch of land on the banks of the Sabarmati River to build a new stadium. Construction of the stadium was completed in nine months.{{cite news |date=10 December 2016 |title=Why Sardar Patel Stadium in Motera, Ahmedabad will make cricket history |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/why-sardar-patel-stadium-in-motera-ahmedabad-will-make-cricket-history/story-7b59h4SZG5yHl7BGkg9agK.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161210175135/http://www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/why-sardar-patel-stadium-in-motera-ahmedabad-will-make-cricket-history/story-7b59h4SZG5yHl7BGkg9agK.html |archive-date=10 December 2016 |access-date=10 December 2016 |newspaper=Hindustan Times}} The venue was originally known simply as Gujarat Stadium; however, it was soon renamed Sardar Patel Stadium (not to be confused with the previously mentioned site in Navrangpura), after Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first home minister and deputy prime minister. Since its completion, all international cricket fixtures in Ahmedabad have been held at the site. In the 1984-85 Australia India series, Sardar Patel Stadium hosted its first ODI, which India lost.

At the arena, Sunil Gavaskar became the first batter to score 10,000 runs in Test cricket, a feat he accomplished against Pakistan in their 1987 tour.{{Cite web |date=24 December 2009 |title=1987-Gavaskar is the first to score 10,000 test runs: A 10 tonne toast |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/cover-story/story/20091228-1987-gavaskar-is-the-first-to-score-10000-test-runs-a-10-tonne-toast-741618-2009-12-23 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230727150304/https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/cover-story/story/20091228-1987-gavaskar-is-the-first-to-score-10000-test-runs-a-10-tonne-toast-741618-2009-12-23 |archive-date=27 July 2023 |access-date=27 July 2023 |website=India Today}} Kapil Dev took a nine-wicket haul against the West Indies in 1983, and claimed his 432nd Test wicket at the stadium in 1995 to become the highest wicket-taker in Tests, surpassing Richard Hadlee's tally.{{Cite web |last=Paliwal |first=Priyansha |date=8 February 2020 |title=Motera Stadium: Inauguration, Renovation and Seating Capacity |url=https://ashaval.com/motera-stadium-0221119/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200323134012/https://ashaval.com/motera-stadium-0221119/ |archive-date=23 March 2020 |access-date=8 February 2020 |website=Ashaval.com |language=en-US}} In 1996, the ground hosted a low-scoring Test match against South Africa, in which the visitors lost 105–223.{{Cite web |title=India beat South Africa India won by 64 runs - India vs South Africa, South Africa tour of India, 1st Test Gujarat Stadium, Motera, Ahmedabad November 20 - 23, 1996 Match Summary, Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/south-africa-tour-of-india-1996-97-61859/india-vs-south-africa-1st-test-63724/live-cricket-score |access-date=2023-12-22 |website=ESPNcricinfo |language=en}}

Sardar Patel Stadium hosted one game each in the 1987 and 1996 World Cups, including the first match of the 1996 World Cup between England and New Zealand.

In 2006, the stadium became the focal venue of the ICC Champions Trophy and hosted five of the 15 games played. In preparation for the tournament, the stadium was renovated to add three new pitches and a new outfield. Floodlights and covered stands were also introduced at the stadium as a part of the renovation program.{{Cite web |title=India vs England 2021.

In October 2015, the stadium was demolished for reconstruction, though some media referred to it as a renovation.

The redevelopment, originally planned to be completed in 2019, finished in February 2020.

After starting demolition work at the end of 2015, the GCA issued a request for tender on 1 January 2016 in The Times of India and The Indian Express. Nine bidders showed interest and purchased the tender documents, out of which three submitted technical and financial bids on time; they were the Shapoorji Pallonji Group, Nagarjuna Construction Company, and Larsen & Toubro (L&T). A Tender Commercial Committee (TCC) of nine experts was formed to evaluate tenders. Additionally, STUP Consultants, a civil engineering consultancy firm based in Mumbai, was appointed as the project management consultant to evaluate proposals and technical details of each bid working with the TCC.{{Cite web |date=16 December 2020 |title=WORLD'S LARGEST STADIUM IS LIKELY TO HOST SYED MUSHTAQ ALI KNOCKOUT MATCHES THAT ARE GOING TO BE HELD IN JANUARY 2021 |url=https://gujaratcricketassociation.com/news/motera-stadium-gujarats-grand-stand/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230727150305/https://gujaratcricketassociation.com/news/motera-stadium-gujarats-grand-stand/ |archive-date=27 July 2023 |access-date=27 July 2023}}

Each of the three bidders presented their designs, models, and technical details of their concepts and designs. Due to the sheer size and complexity of the project, the bidders were evaluated on many parameters. These included efficiency, resources, project length, and ease of implementation, among others. The bidders were ranked and weighted based on the parameters.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}

In the end, Larsen &Turbo was selected as the principal contractor to build and design the stadium.
