Pitch Report: A Batters’ Paradise?
The ACA-VDCA Stadium, once a stronghold for spinners, has seen a shift towards favoring fast bowlers recently. In the recent DC versus CSK match, batsmen thrived on what seemed to be a batting paradise. Big runs were scored from the likes of Rishabh Pant, David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, and MS Dhoni.
