The stadium would be hosting the fourth and final Test match between India and Australia. The stadium is the largest cricket stadium globally, and it has a seating capacity of over 100,000.

Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report: Expectations
The pitch is likely to be another turning track, which will suit the spinners. The fast bowlers may not have much impact on this track as the red soil in Ahmedabad will be beneficial for the spinners. Axar Patel has been the most successful bowler at the stadium so far, and he has picked up 20 wickets in just two matches.
The captains would like to win the toss and bat first, given the history of the ground. Both the previous Test matches held here finished before the end of day three, indicating that the batters would have a tough time. The ground has seen some high-scoring games, with the highest score being 760/7 by Sri Lanka against India.
