Meanwhile, let us know how the pitch report of MA Chidambaram Stadium is going to be.
Condition of Chepauk pitch
Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium always helps spinners. Slow bowlers get the advantage due to dry surface and slow rotation here. In such a situation, batting can be challenging. Due to the spin friendly pitch, batsmen will find it difficult to play strokes. On this ground, teams prefer to score rather than chase the target, as the pitch slows down in the second innings. Fast bowlers using cutters and variations can also be effective, but spinners have played an important role in IPL 2025.
