Rajiv Gandhi Stadium Pitch Report: Batting or Bowling Friendly?
Nature of Pitch: Flat, High-Scoring, and Dry
The pitch at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium has consistently supported batsmen, especially in IPL matches. The dry surface makes it easier to play shots, though pacers with variations have seen some success. Spinners get minimal help unless there’s grip from dryness.
✅ Key Pitch Insights:
- Flat track with good bounce.
- Not much movement for fast bowlers upfront.
- Spin comes in only if it’s slow and dry.
- Ideal for stroke play and big totals.
Expert View: Teams should look to bat first, pile up runs, and defend with scoreboard pressure.
