The reinforced Motera stadium is also going to hog a lot of limelight shortly as it has been shortlisted to host the Day/Night Test match between India and England next year. The last time when the Three Lions visited the Indian soil, they suffered a 4-0 loss in the five-match Test series. It will be fascinating to witness how the England squad fares against a dominant Indian team, especially with the Pink ball.
