Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report for IPL

The pitch of Delhi plays slow, so skippers usually hand the ball to one of the spinners during the power-play. The role of the spinners remains vital throughout the innings while pacers take most of their wickets during the death overs. The average 1st innings total at Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch during the IPL is 156.

Scoring quickly is not an easy task at Delhi’s track. Runs during the initial overs of the innings will come without much effort. However, once the power-play gets over, the run rate goes down a bit. During the mid-overs batsmen have to depend on power-hitting to score boundaries rather than timing. If the target is 160+, chasing at Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch will not be easy.
