India's Pitch Demand: Ahmedabad Final Gets Red Soil Boost After Team Management Intervention

• Indian team management, led by Gautam Gambhir, was reportedly unhappy with the initial pitch for the T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad.
• Their intervention led to a change to a 'Mixed' pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium, specifically with a higher proportion of red soil.
• The new pitch is expected to be batting-friendly, offering good bounce and scores around 200, similar to the Mumbai semi-final.
• The decision for more red soil is influenced by India's past losses on black soil pitches, which tend to slow down.
• The team management conveyed concerns to local curators and sent staff to discuss pitch preparation throughout the tournament.
