Arun Jaitley Stadium Delhi Pitch Report

Recently, the pitches of Feroz Shah Kotla have remained batting-friendly. It’s a great surface for the batters and in the 2021 season, 2 out of 4 games, the teams who batted first crossed the 200-run mark. Even a 218-run target was chased by Mumbai Indians vs CSK on the Delhi pitch in 2021.

Some grass was present on the Delhi pitch during IPL 2021 matches. This was the reason, the role of spinners was limited here in recent fixtures. During IPL 2021, spinners were getting only 4-5 overs per innings. The team who will bat first here needs to put 170+ on the board unless chasing is going to be easy at Delhi ground.
