Some serious thinking needs to be done by the BCCI considering not even 1,000 people turned up to witness the final day’s play of the fourth Test between India and Australia at a ground that enjoys a record capacity of 1,30,000

On a day when one of the most exciting finishes was seen in Test cricket history at Christchurch with New Zealand defeating Sri Lanka off the final ball of the game and thereby India qualifying for the World Test Championship final in London in June, it was a depressing sight at the world’s biggest cricket stadium.
As many as 1,29,000 seats were empty on the final day of the fourth Test between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium. This surely isn’t good advertisement for the longest format in a cricket-crazy country.
