Named after the former Maharaja of the state of Jaipur, Sawai Mansingh II, the Sawai Mansingh Stadium has long been known for its competitive surfaces. With a seating capacity of nearly 24,000, the ground offers a balanced contest, making record run chases even more remarkable. Teams boasting of adaptability, smart batting, and handling spin-friendly conditions have often seen them come out victorious at this venue as it hasn’t really seen 200-plus totals.
It is the home ground of the inaugural IPL winners Rajasthan Royals. The stadium has hosted several memorable IPL matches, where teams have pulled off impressive chases, especially under pressure.
While Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur has offered some sluggish pitches over the years, it has changed in the last two years. First innings scores of 200 have been a regular occurrence at this venue. And despite the dry surface, teams have managed to chase down some big totals.
