IPL 2024, CSK vs PBKS: Chepauk Stadium Pitch Report
Chepauk Stadium pitch has played completely different from the previous years as this year in IPL, the score of 200 runs is easily breached at this ground. There is no help for pacers at the venue with bowlers like Deepak Chahar struggling to get the help of swing. Spinners have also gone for plenty at the ground. The ball is not gripping like the previous IPL tournaments at this venue. Chepauk Stadium is known for its spin friendly and slow pitches that make it hard for the batters to play shots. However, this year the shot making has been relatively easy. The team which wins the toss should opt to bat second as there will be dew which will cause the error in line and length for the bowlers.
