The construction work for the first phase of the stadium is likely to take 24 to 30 months. An amount of about Rs. 290 crores has been estimated in the construction work.

The stadium is the biggest cricket stadium in the world as it has a total capacity of 1,32,000.

The stadium is oval in shape and as a result, whenever a match is played on any of the 11 pitches, the boundary size remains the same on both sides.
