Niranjan Shah Stadium Pitch Report

The Rajkot pitch at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium is known for its true bounce and even pace early on, making it ideal for batter, especially in the opening overs of a Test match, leading to high-scoring innings. However, as the game progresses, the pitch deteriorates, aiding spin bowlers with increased turn and uneven bounce, making it harder for batsmen to tackle spinners. The pitch can also produce variable bounce, which tests the batsmen’s technique and introduces unpredictability. While fast bowlers may find initial help with swing and seam movement, they often struggle as the game wears on, requiring disciplined lengths to capitalize on any uneven bounce or reverse swing. Historically, teams have preferred to bat first at this ground to take advantage of the flat pitch and set large first-innings totals.
