Eden gardens
The home of cricket in India, Eden Gardens, Kolkata, has a massive size and capacity of 66 thousand fans. It is the second-largest stadium in India and the third-largest in the world. So when it comes to craziness, Eden Gardens is a fun place for cricket fans. You can say that this stadium is associated with many favourite memories for the fans.

This is the place where BCCI has decided to hold the Finale this time. And why wouldn’t they? The Narendra Modi Stadium is the largest cricket stadium in the world, housing more than 130000 spectators at a time. BCCI has spent a lot of money on this stadium. Previously, it was known as Motera Stadium. But now it is named after the Prime Minister of India. You have already witnessed the stadium and its majesty during the IPL.

But this time, it is going to host ICC world cup matches. The official name of the stadium is Inderjit Singh Bindra Stadium. A fun fact about this venue is that the floodlights are low in height. This is due to safety reasons as there is an airport nearby.

You may associate this stadium with RCB and Bangaluru, but you will be amazed to know that it is the first cricket stadium in the world to have Solar energy-powered flood lights.
