The 5 deadliest cricket pitches of all time

#3 Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi (2009)

Feroz Shah Kotla stadium of Delhi

Feroz Shah Kotla Ground was established in India in the year 1883 in Delhi. This ground conducted its first international match in the year 1948 as the West Indies were touring the country. This ground holds the record of being the second oldest cricket ground in India which is still functioning.

However, along with history, this ground also has some dangerous past connected with it. This danger reflects the match between India and Sri Lanka in the year 2009. In that match, the pitch conditions changed drastically creating some unplayable turn and bounce.

The conditions became so much worse that the match was forcefully called off as it was creating danger for batsmen.

The Sri Lankan team batting first somehow managed to score 83 runs at the loss of 5 wickets on this unplayable track. At this score, the match was called off under the decision of both the captains and Delhi Cricket Association.
