Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
The Arun Jaitley Stadium is usually a place where batsmen enjoy their time in the middle. With relatively short boundaries and a fast outfield, aggressive shots are rewarded and scoring becomes faster. The pitch generally offers genuine bounce and good carry, allowing players to trust the surface and play their strokes freely. At the beginning of the innings, fast bowlers may get a hint of swing from the new ball, which may trouble the openers for a short period. However, once the shine fades, batting generally becomes more comfortable.
Spinners often do not get much help unless the surface is absolutely dry, so they usually rely on variation rather than turn.
