The largest cricket stadium in the world in terms of capacity will host the final test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. The match is very important for India to win considering their place in WTC Final. Here is Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad Pitch Report for IND vs AUS 4th Test & Records at Ground.
An exciting test series that has been full of drama and action was in talks for the condition of pitches used throughout the series.
The Delhi and Nagpur tests got finished within 3 days span and spinners were yet again unplayable. Then the worst of them all came in the third test in Indore.
After a series of rank turners the pitch curator of Ahmedabad stadium are under serious pressure.
In the last test match at this venue, the game was finished within 2 days. The Narendra Modi stadium pitch was rated very poorly by ICC after that India-England test match.
It will be very interesting to see how the pitch will play at Ahmedabad for the deciding test match.

Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad Pitch Report
Since its renovation in 2021, there has been just a single test match hosted at this venue. However, the pitch hasn’t changed much as it is still beneficial for the spinners.
Batting first at this venue would be a smart decision considering the conditions. Spinners are almost unplayable to face on this wicket after day 2.
We can again expect another test match wrapping up within 3 days in this series.
