IPL 2025 SRH vs RR Pitch Report, Venue Stats
In the last edition of Tata IPL, the surface in Hyderabad was a boon for the batters. The batters scored runs with ease and three of the top 5 scores of last season were scored here. While there is usually some assistance for pace bowlers during the initial few overs, as the ball is new and conditions are favorable to swing, this advantage diminishes significantly once the powerplay is over. Therefore, expect batters to have the last dance at this surface.
