The MA Chidambaram Stadium is renowned for its firm and arid surface that generally favors spinners. Nonetheless, this season has seen an emphasis on stroke-making as the pitch has limited grass coverage, benefiting the batters.

Is MA Chidambaram batting or bowling pitch?

This year the surface at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai hasn’t been on the slower side, instead we have seen runs being scored heavily. Last match played at this venue was an afternoon game between CSK and PBKS where more than 400 runs were scored. A competitive total on this surface would typically range somewhere above 185, which could prove to be a challenging target as the pitch slows down during afternoon games.
