KKR vs SRH: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, Pitch Report
The wicket at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium is renowned for having a flat batting surface. Although there is no doubt that Ahmedabad produces high-scoring fixtures, a lot of matches that have been played at this venue during this season are low-scoring affairs. Furthermore, we are aware that the pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium helps spinners a bit as well. It is evident that under these circumstances, after being worn down and used repeatedly, the wicket will soon dry out and begin to crack, making it the perfect surface for spinners to bowl on. Given the aforementioned circumstances, it appears that the Narendra Modi Stadium pitch would not be as easy to bat on, as this season’s first half has demonstrated.
