IPL 2024, DC vs KKR:

Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium boasts a reputation for batsman-friendly pitches. These surfaces encourage fluent strokeplay with good bounce, making them ideal for high-scoring encounters. Interestingly, there’s been a trend of spinners gaining some grip and control later in the innings. However, dew in the evening can negate this advantage, swinging things back in favor of the batsmen. Expect a thrilling and potentially high-scoring match at this venue.
