Spread over 63 acres, the stadium has been built at an estimated cost of Rs 800 crore and with a seating capacity for 1,32,000 spectators.

Motera Stadium will be hosting the day-night Test between India and England which is set to begin from today. Before the first ball is bowled, the stadium would be inaugurated by President Ram Nath Kovind.

Kohli added that England, who too capitulated for 58 in their last pink ball Test against New Zealand in Auckland, also won't be affected by a one-off dismal show.

India had defeated England by 317 runs in the second Test and now both teams are getting ready to battle it out in the day-night Test at the newly-built Motera Stadium.
