MA Chidambaram Stadium Chennai Pitch Report

The curators at Chennai create hard and dry pitches which are considered spin-friendly. Over the years it has remained a decent track for the batters but it’s not the pitch where you score big runs. Most of the time Chepauk Cricket Stadium witnesses low-scoring games

A slow wicket provides comfort to the spinners and playing an extra spinner is not a bad choice here. As there will be almost no grass on the Chepauk ground pitch, pace bowlers may not get much help from the surface. However, medium pacers who use variations in bowling can go effective.

If we look at the previous IPL records at MA Chidambaram Stadium Chennai, a score of 160+ can be considered good to defend here. Chasing a total is usually tough at Chepauk. So, during the 2023 IPL, choosing to bat first can be considered a wise decision here.
