Known for its batting-friendly pitch and short boundaries, Chinnaswamy promises a high-scoring thriller.

Pitch Report: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

Traditionally, the Chinnaswamy pitch provides a flat surface with true bounce, making it a paradise for batsmen. The short boundaries and quick outfield further aid in high run-scoring. However, in a recent match on April 11, 2025, KL Rahul described the pitch as "slightly tricky," noting that the ball tended to sit in the wicket a bit, though it remained consistent throughout. His observations from behind the stumps helped him craft a match-winning unbeaten 93 off 53 balls for Delhi Capitals against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
