Toss Scenarios
Now let us talk about toss scenario that if RR wins the toss then what would be good for them to take batting or bowling in the first innings.
79 IPL matches have been played in this stadium, out of which the team batting in the first innings has won 32 matches and the team batting in the second innings has won 47 matches. If seen, RR should get batting done in second innings and bowling in first innings.
Initially on this pitch, the pacer gets a lot of help like Jason Holder, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult, Kuldeep Sen, Kuldip Yadav, Obey McCoy. And then as the match progresses, spinners will get help like Ravichandran Ashwin, Riyan Parag, Adam Zampa, Yuzvendra Chahal. And let us tell you that in the last 9 matches on this pitch, the spinner has taken 29 wickets.
Now let us tell you what can happen if RR has to bat in the first innings. First of all, let us tell you that the batting surface of this pitch is very good and here the batter gets more help. Most of the matches on this pitch are high-scoring because this pitch is batting friendly and the stadium here has short boundaries, due to which it is easy for batsmen to hit long short.
That means RR good batsmen like Sanju Samson, Joss Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Riyan Parag can easily hit long shots here. But if we look at the statistics, then the team batting in the second innings has won more matches.
And let us tell you that the batsmen may find it difficult in the first few overs, but then gradually it becomes easier to bat on this pitch, due to which RR can bat in the first innings if they want, because in the last few IPL matches In the match, this pitch is looking more batting friendly than bowler friendly.
Now in the end, both these options prove to be good for RR, but it would be better if RR bowled in the first innings.
