The Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) owns and manages the New Delhi-based Arun Jaitley Stadium, a cricket stadium. The stadium, which was built in 1883 and used to be called Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, was renamed in August 2019 in honor of Arun Jaitley, a former union minister. It should be noted that it is India’s second-oldest operational international cricket stadium.

Pitch Report
The Arun Jaitley Stadium’s pitches were known to be good for batting, but just like most venues in the subcontinent, they have helped spin bowlers in the past. Even though it may initially be favorable for batting, the wicket may slow down as the game progresses, assisting spinners. Spin will be used again by India’s bowling attack. Additionally, a shorter Test match is anticipated in the event of another Australia collapse.
Weather Forecast
From Friday, February 17, to Tuesday, February 21, the weather is expected to be sunny with a maximum temperature of 29 degrees Celsius. There is no chance of rain on any of the match days or in the days leading up to the match. Therefore, the test match at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium will not be affected by the weather.
