Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report

It is a fresh wicket at Arun Jaitley Stadium and its nature is completely different from the surfaces at the venue. We have always seen slow wickets at this venue that assist spinners a lot. However, it is a batting surface with true pace and bounce in it. The batters will enjoy their time in the middle and the bowlers cannot miss their mark by an inch.
