Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium offers an excellent pitch for batters, with its dry condition and short boundaries making it easier to hit boundaries. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to become drier, providing valuable assistance to spin bowlers. In light of these conditions, it has become a common practice for the team winning the toss to opt for batting first and try to defend their total.
