   Narendra Modi has renamed the world’s largest cricket stadium after himself, stealing the limelight before the ground’s inaugural India-England match on Wednesday.

The site on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, Modi’s political home town in the state of Gujarat, was recently rebuilt as the world’s largest cricket venue with capacity for 110,000 spectators.

Gujju nature.

Clearly he blessed the stadium with good fortune given the result of the inaugural test there under his name.

Nothing new for teams touring India, but the pitch was honestly a total disgrace. The surface of the moon would look smoother. It was embarrassing for test cricket.

No disagreement, but England’s performance in that last innings really was a special kind of woeful.

Yet more evidence, were it actually needed, that he is a wrong 'un.

Has he started building statues like Mayawati did?

Cuomo renamed the Tappan Zee Bridge after his dad. Same level.

This feels very 1973 Chile esque. Hopefully Modi gets given a free helicopter ride soon enough.

The pitch at least had comedy value, which is more than some other wickets I've seen *glares at MCG* produces.
