Amit Shah wishes Pujara to score double century at Motera stadium

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that he wants India's batting mainstay Cheteshwar Pujara to score a double century in the third Test against England at the newly renamed Narendra Modi Stadium.

Shah also said that Ahmedabad in Gujarat would be known as the country's sports city with world-class facilities for all kinds of games being set up there.

"This stadium is very memorable for Javagal Srinath. He took six wickets against South Africa, on the same ground, Kapil Dev broke Richard's Hadlee tally of wickets. On this same ground, Sunil Gavaskar achieved the milestone of 10,000 runs.

On this same ground, Sachin Tendulkar achieved the 18,000 ODI runs and he completed his 20 years in international cricket here. I wish Pujara scores double century here and he helps India to win against England," said Shah.
