In the initial overs, the pitch tends to be good for batting, offering decent pace and bounce for stroke-making. However, as the game progresses, the surface tends to slow down, and the spinners come into play more prominently. The spinners, both finger spinners and wrist spinners, often find assistance from the surface due to its dryness and rough patches.Batsmen need to be watchful against spinners and be prepared to rotate the strike rather than going for aggressive shots. Building partnerships and pacing the innings become crucial on this pitch. Fast bowlers also have a role to play, especially in the initial overs when the ball may seam and swing a bit. However, their effectiveness usually decreases as the match progresses.
Overall, the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium pitch is known to produce competitive matches, providing opportunities for both batsmen and bowlers. It often rewards skillful spin bowling and strategic batting, making it a fascinating venue for cricket enthusiasts.
