The pitch is batsmen friendly
To maintain the excitement of IPL, the pitch of the stadium is being prepared batsmen friendly. There are a total of 9 pitches in the stadium. Of these, 6 pitches are for the practice of teams. Rajasthan Royals matches will be held on 3 pitches. Some grass is also being left on the pitch, so that the fast bowlers can take advantage of it.
Big scores will be seen in the matches of Jaipur. The long boundary here will also make the players sweat. SMS Stadium is counted among those grounds in the country which have long boundaries. There is a boundary of about 75 yards around the field. There have been no matches here since February. In such a situation, the ground and pitch are completely fresh.
