Eden Gardens in Kolkata is one of the iconic stadiums across the world. However, it is not hosting the finals of the CWC in 2023. Why is it so?

It is because the BCCI has invested a ton of money in building Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad to be the world’s largest stadium by capacity. With so much fanfare and political lobbying, it is evident that this was the only right move.

Eden Gardens was never in contention. It was always the plan to host the finals in the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

BCCI believes in hosting in the Narendra Modi Stadium as it can fill out more seats than in any other major stadium in the country.
