Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report:

The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad is renowned for its batters-friendly pitches, which facilitate high-scoring encounters, particularly in the initial stages of a match. However, the pitch isn’t limited to favoring only one style of play. As the game progresses, it tends to offer more assistance to spin bowlers, a trend observed historically. This evolution in pitch behavior, reminiscent of patterns seen at numerous other venues, often gives the chasing team a slight edge.
