Dharmsala last hosted an IPL match in 2013, but subsequently, due to a legal dispute between the then Congress government and HPCA over the control of the Dharmsala cricket stadium, IPL matches have not been held there. However, with the recent re-laying of the pitch in 2022, Sanjay Sharma, the director of HPCA, expressed optimism that hosting IPL matches will help promote Dharmsala as a popular tourist destination.
The stadium has always been a batting friendly venue and we can expect batters scoring runs freely here. With the wind and breeze blowing for the majority of the game, expect the seam bowlers to get some help upfront, especially with the new ball. However, batting is going to be easy at this venue.
