What to know
- The Assam Cricket Association's ground opened in 2012. It hosted its first Test, India vs South Africa, in November 2025.
- It is the easternmost venue of the season, so the sun sets earlier here than in western India. BCCI has scheduled the 3rd Test (11–15 February 2027) to start at 9:00 am IST, half an hour earlier than the other four Tests.
- Rajasthan Royals have used it as a second IPL home since 2023.

Our calculation from hourly Open-Meteo ERA5 reanalysis data for the 15 days around the fixture date (±7 days) in each of five winters, 2021-22 to 2025-26 (75 days per window). "Dew-risk evenings" = share of evenings where the 10 pm air temperature was within 4°C of the dew point. Reanalysis describes the surrounding area (~25–30 km grid), not the outfield: an indicator, not a forecast. Open-Meteo
Fantasy angle (our general view)
- India vs Australia, 3rd Test: day play from 09:00 IST; sunset around 17:12 IST on day one. Evening dew is not a factor in day Tests. Watch how quickly the surface dries and wears. Typical afternoons in this window were about 24.3°C. On wearing Indian pitches frontline spinners usually gain value as the match goes on, but wait for the pitch report and the XIs.
