The first test of the most awaited Border Gavaskar Trophy will be played in Nagpur. Here is Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium Nagpur Pitch Report.

Australia and India will play a 4 match test series starting on the 9th of February. The series is very important, especially from the perspective of hosts India. The series defeat will kick India out of the race of WTC final 2023 which is going to take place at the Oval in June 2023.

The Aussies on the other hand eagerly want to break India’s 15 straight home series winning streak. The Border Gavaskar Trophy has a history of exciting nail-biting encounters. Vidharbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur will host the first test of the series.

Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium Nagpur Pitch Report

The Nagpur wicket is absolutely heaven for the spinners and a nightmare for the batters. Vidharbha has given many rank turners in the past and we can expect the same this time.

Batting in the 4th innings at this venue takes a lot of courage and temperament as the ball turns a mile once the pitch gets torn. Batting first after winning the toss would be the option both captains will choose as nobody wants to last at this surface.

Stats at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Tests

The record has been even steven at the Nagpur. In the 5 games at this venue, 2 games each have been won by teams batting first and second. In those 5 games, India lost only a single test which came against South Africa back in 2010.
