Pitch Report
"It looks like a beautiful surface. If you look closely under the tinge of grass it is a little bit dry but it is rock hard. So it will not have any impact for spin. The ball will come on to the bat nicely and it is a fantastic strip for batting. The weather is quite clear and both teams will enjoy that. Rajasthan Royals have an unbelievable record at home" -
