What's the story

A lot will be at stake when India meet Australia in the fourth and final Test of the series, starting March 9.

India, who are 2-1 up in the series, need a win to officially secure a berth in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final.

Meanwhile, the colossal Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the duel.

Here are the key stats.

Previously known as the Motera Stadium, the venue is the world's largest cricket stadium with a seating capacity of 1,10,000 spectators.

In 2015, the stadium was demolished for renovation and inaugurated again in 2021.

Since then, India have played 11 international games here across formats, winning nine and losing just two.

The hosts would be determined to extend their stellar run here.
