Pitch report for M Chinnaswamy Stadium for RCB vs RR match
The Chinnaswamy pitch — which has been a batter’s paradise historically — has strangely been favouring the bowlers this time around. RCB have a solid bowling lineup with in-form bowlers like Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma. In addition, they also have someone like Yash Dayal, who has been a very effective and handy bowler for RCB in slog overs. However, the home team has failed to click with both bat and ball as far as the Chinnaswamy strip is concerned. If RCB need to win their first home match, one department has to click for the home team.
