The Wheel is Forever
I would never attend a Test match in India, and I'm obviously a huge fan of Test cricket. It's not worth it. They openly despise their customers.

Doesn't fit into the current political schemes of BCCI.Eden Gardens is the best but never gets any games
Mohali and Nagpur Stadiums are right in the city. Mohali along with Chandigarh is just 7 to 15% in Population to the cities where you get crowds. That is the reflection in no of people coming to watch the matches. On crucial days there will be a houseful and on non crucial days, you see the representation. Though in population they are that small the percentage of people in stadium are on the higher sidehehe
Yeah they will never do it but it rather wishful thinking.
Another reason for low crowds in places like Mohali and Nagpur etc would be that grounds are 20-30 km away from city. There's probably not adequate public transport. Not to mention that in most of the grounds in India, you have to buy 5 day passes. There's no 1 day pass. In Mohali you have to buy tickets from some bank... apparently you can't get them at the stadium.
I can see why people didn't bother turning up for most of the match.
