Pitch Report: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
The Narendra Modi Stadium, one of the grandest in world cricket, generally offers a balanced surface that has something for both batsmen and bowlers. Traditionally, the pitch starts off flat, aiding stroke-play early on, but it can slow down in the second half, bringing spinners into play.
In recent IPL seasons, teams chasing have often found success here, especially when dew sets in during the second innings. During a 2025 match on April 12, GT captain Shubman Gill highlighted the importance of rotating strike and playing smart against spinners as the ball tends to grip slightly under lights.
