Coach Ravi Shastri also said that the stadium looks spectacular and once cricketing action starts to happen at the ground, every Indian would cherish the moment.
"Looks simply spectacular. A moment to cherish for every Indian cricket lover. World-class facility seating 110,000 plus @JayShah #MoteraStadium," Shastri tweeted.
