IPL 2024: Detailed Pitch Report of the Official Home Ground of Gujarat Titans - Narendra Modi Stadium

Gujrat Titans Overview:

Playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Gujarat Titans (GT) are a cricket team located in Ahmedabad, India. Owned by CVC Capital Partners, the squad was established in 2021. Head coach Ashish Nehra is paired with captain Hardik Pandya. In 2022, the GT participated in their maiden IPL season and became victorious as IPL Champions. The squad participated in 17 games in 2023, winning 11 and losing 6, for a winning percentage of 64.71%. With 28 wickets in 17 games, Mohammed Shami was the team's top wicket-taker in 2023.

Squad Report:

Along with a formidable group of local hitters like Rahul Tewatia, Vijay Shankar, Shahrukh Khan, and Wriddhiman Saha, the Gujarat Titans bat first with Shubman Gill, Kane Williamson, David Miller, and Sai Sudharsan. This combination guarantees the club a strong core of batsmen. Rashid Khan's comeback after a lengthy injury layoff and Shami's departure, however, expose weaknesses in the team's bowling lineup and might affect his performance at first.

Gujrat Titans Home Ground:

Located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, the Narendra Modi Stadium (NMS), sometimes called Motera Stadium, is a venue for international cricket matches. With 132,000 seats available, it is the biggest stadium in the whole globe. The Gujarat Cricket Association owns the stadium, which is used to host both domestic and international cricket matches. This stadium is among the best in the world for cricket. In the partially published IPL 2024 calendar, Narendra Modi Stadium will host three matches, an encounter against the Mumbai Indians, followed by contests against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings. The IPL has also been held in this Ahmedabad location in past seasons. Before the 2024 Indian Premier League, have a look at the Narendra Modi Stadium details, T20 and IPL records at the location.

Pitch Report of Narendra Modi Stadium:

There are six red dirt pitches and five black soil pitches at the location. In T20, it seems unlikely that the red soil pitches, which dry out quickly, would outperform the black soil pitches in bounce. Batters have scored easily at the venue when they bat first in recent games.
