Jaipur, which has been home to several cricket matches over the years, has witnessed some dramatic run chases and tense bowling performances at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. While the highest successful run-chases are often the most-talked-about topics when referred to a ground, the lowest defended total also remains pivotal in today’s time. While Sawai Mansingh Stadium has been batters’ paradise in the Indian Premier League (IPL), some impressive bowling performances have also helped teams defend low totals.
