The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad has been the marquee cricket arena in the country since its inauguration in 2021. The venue served as the host to the World Cup 2023 final, and in the IPL, it has been serving as the home ground for the Gujarat Titans since the 2022 season. In IPL 2024, the world’s biggest stadium is slated to host 9 matches, including 7 home games of the Titans and two playoff matches.
Titans have already played three matches at Ahmedabad this season, and their upcoming clash against Delhi Capitals will be their fourth home game. Shubman Gill’s team kicked off the season with a strong performance at Ahmedabad against Mumbai Indians. However, their momentum dipped slightly in the next five games, where they secured only two wins. With a tally of three wins from six matches, GT currently holds the sixth position in the standings.
On the other hand, the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals find themselves in a precarious position, having won only two games out of their six matches so far. They currently occupy the 9th position in the standings, just above the bottom-dwelling Royal Challengers Bangalore.
