It cannot always be given to a particular city,\u201d Shukla told PTI on Friday.<br \/>The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai hosted the 2023 ODI World Cup semifinal, while the final was held at the world\u2019s largest Narendra Modi stadium by seating capacity in Ahmedabad.<br \/>&#8220;There has been a final match &#8212; 1987 World Cup &#8212; in Kolkata also, and Kolkata is considered as Mecca. So it can&#8217;t be decided that it should always happen in a particular city,&#8221; Shukla said.<br \/>&#8220;There are semi-finals and finals which have taken place in Mumbai. Similarly, Ahmedabad ground has got a capacity of 1,30,000, and we go by capacity also,\u201d he continued.<br \/>\u201cKolkata (Eden Gardens) has got a big capacity, around 80,000 spectators (approx. 66,000) can be accommodated. Similarly, other cities also.<br \/>&#8220;This is purely a decision keeping in mind the entire country and all the venues. You cannot confine to one venue,&#8221; explained the senior board official.<br \/>Shukla emphasized that choosing a specific venue for key matches would not be correct.<br \/>He also praised the fans in Mumbai for their large turnout during the open bus parade and commended the Mumbai Police for efficiently managing the event.<br \/>\u201cWe were really delighted to see Mumbaikars and their response. Mumbai is always our priority. It&#8217;s not that (it is not). But it has to be decided by the entire BCCI, where to host finals, where to have semi-finals&#8230; Every match is important,\u201d he said.<br \/>\u201cMumbai is always on our priority list. But saying that all the finals should take place in one city&#8230; It never happens in any country,\u201d Shukla added. <\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
