Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report
In limited-overs cricket, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is a good place to bat first. In the second innings, the surface is favorable for medium-pace bowlers and spinners. The surface starts to spin as the ball also comes slowly into the bat. This typically dry and rough surface aids bowlers with bounce and spin.
On such a surface, batting is simple in both innings, and many runs may be scored quickly. Due to its size, the field offers more scoring possibilities in T20 games. In limited-over matches, teams always choose to bat first here and employ their bowling attack to defend the score. This is because there is no dew factor.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Weather Forecast
