Arun Jaitley Stadium Promotion Report
The Arun Jaitley Stadium is usually a place where batsmen enjoy their time in the middle overs. Since the boundaries are relatively short and the outfield is fast, attacking shots are rewarded and scores tend to come quickly. The courts generally offer real bounce and good dribbling, allowing players to trust the court surface and hit the ball freely. Early in the innings, fast bowlers may notice signs of swing with the new ball, which may cause problems for the openers at short notice. However, once the shine wears off, hitting the ball usually becomes more comfortable.
Spinners usually don’t get much help unless the surface is significantly dry, so they often rely on changes rather than turns.
