DC vs KKR: Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium had a green tinge in the last game and offered notable assistance to spinners, particularly during the middle overs. The ball gripped and turned, making stroke play challenging early on. However, run-scoring becomes significantly easier once batters settle in and spend some time at the crease.
The pitch tends to flatten out under lights, making chasing a viable option. With short boundaries and a quick outfield, set batters can accelerate swiftly. Bowlers will need to vary their pace and lengths smartly to remain effective on this dual-paced surface. The average first-innings score at this venue in IPL 2025 is 172 runs.
