Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Pitch Report

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is renowned for its batting-friendly pitches in T20 cricket, making it a preferred venue for high-scoring matches. Its dry, hard surface and short boundaries encourage players to go all out with aggressive shots, leading to some huge totals, sometimes over 200 in recent IPL matches. Early on, fast bowlers could see the ball seam around, and spinners get some grip later, but overall, the pitch remains a good batting surface. Dew usually makes it simpler to chase runs during night matches, which can impact the decision to bowl first after the toss.
