This IPL season, Rajasthan Royals have had a promising start at their home ground, the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. In their first match against the Lucknow Super Giants, Sanju Samson-led side secured a 20-run victory. Now, the venue is set to host RR’s second match of the season on March 28th. The Pink brigade will clash against the Delhi Capitals, who suffered a defeat against the Punjab Kings in their opening match.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is scheduled to host five home games for the Rajasthan Royals this season. Their remaining two home games will be held in Guwahati, which serves as RR’s adopted home ground.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium Jaipur Pitch Report for IPL 2024
Usually, the Jaipur ground features a slow pitch that can offer assistance to bowlers, especially spinners. Batting with the new ball might seem easier, but as the game progresses, the slow nature of the pitch becomes more evident. A strong start is crucial here; if a batting side fails to capitalize on the power-play overs, it may result in a low total.
At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, the straight boundaries are quite sizable, making it risky to attempt aerial shots. Chasing a big score could prove to be challenging here. Therefore, during IPL 2024, opting to bat first might be the most preferable decision at this venue.
