The pitch in Hyderabad is famously batsman-friendly, offering little for the bowlers to exploit. It’s often referred to as a batting haven, a place where batters can really let loose and rack up high scores.

Despite that exceptional performance, bowlers generally find it tough to make an impact here.
The last match at this ground saw Hyderabad post an impressive 277/3, the highest total in I/P/L’s history, showcasing the pitch’s nature. Key contributors like Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, and Travis Head hammered the bowling attack, making the most of the favorable conditions.
