CSK Vs RR: Pitch Report

The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium has mostly been batting-friendly and it has good bounce as well. With short-boundaries and quick out-field the batters have a good advantage. The batters who will be playing through the line can enjoy a great time on crease while the bowlers, especially spinners will rely on variations. The powerplay will be crucial for both the teams, the pacers can also find early movement with the new ball. The dew factor is also there in the second innings and defending the total can become a challenge.

Powerplay will be extremely critical so the bowlers will want to take wickets with the new ball. Any total that is above 210 runs can be considered as a competitive one.
