Sardar Patel Stadium (Motera Stadium) is one of the premier Cricket stadiums of India located in the Motera locality of Ahmedabad. Because of its location, the stadium is commonly called Motera Stadium to avoid confusion with another stadium of the same name in Navrangpura locality of Ahmedabad. Sardar Patel stadium is owned by Gujarat Cricket Association and comes under the aegis of the West Zone. It is the largest stadium in the state of Gujarat, and has an official capacity of 54,000 spectators. It is equipped with floodlights for day-and-night games and is a regular venue for Test cricket and One Day Internationals (ODI) matches.

Formerly known as the Gujarat Stadium, the ground was later renamed in tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India's first Home Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. Apart from cricket, the ground has played host to a number of programs arranged by the Government of Gujarat. The pitch once favoured the bowlers, but has lately been host to competitive games.

As of March 2011, the Motera stadium has played host to 22 ODI matches. In India, only Eden Gardens (25 ODI matches) and M. Chinnaswamy Stadium (23 ODI matches) have hosted more ODI matches than Motera Stadium. The stadium was also one of the host venues for 2011 Cricket World Cup held in India. It hosted 3 matches, including a Quarter final match between India and Australia.

And elsewhere, a cricket stadium was flooded by heavy rains over the past two days. But despite floodwaters 15 feet deep, a scheduled match between India and New Zealand is set to go on. Two days of heavy rain have led to the flooding of the Sardar Patel Stadium, an international cricket venue on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. The secretary of the Gujarat Cricket Association says the rain resulted in floodwaters up to 15 feet deep in the stadium. [Rajesh Patel, Secretary, Gujarat Cricket Association]: "About 12 to 15 feet of water was on the ground. You will still find that water is there. We have started the work from last evening, but it will still take one to two days to flood out this water." On a confident note, he says a test match between India and New Zealand in November will still go ahead as planned. [Rajesh Patel, Secretary, Gujarat Cricket Association]: "Yes, from 4th November there is a Test match between India and New Zealand, but we have relaid the pitch and the grass has already come there. So I think there will be no problem for that and we will work out and make it perfect for the test match." The first test match of the 2010 series between India and New Zealand will be played between November 4 and 8 this year.
