According to ABC News, the crowd that met both Trump and Modi was estimated at over 100,000 people:
President Donald Trump on Monday, greeted by an enthusiastic crowd estimated at more than 100,000 at the world’s largest cricket stadium in India, said the country gives hope to all of humanity.
“Namaste! Namaste,” Trump told the cheering crowd at the “Namaste Trump” or “Welcome Trump” event in Ahmedabad. “And hello to India. This is such a great honor,” he said, as he began a two-day whirlwind visit.
“The first lady and I have just traveled 8000 miles around the globe to deliver a message to every citizen across this station: America loves India, America respects, India, and America will always be faithful and loyal friend to the Indian people,” he said, claiming there were 125,000 there to greet him, although the stadium is said to hold only 110,000.
