Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is all set to host Sunrisers Hyderabad’s first home match of the IPL 2024 on Wednesday (March 27). The opposition for the Pat Cummins-led side will be five-time champions Mumbai Indians, who are coming to this fixture after a heartbreaking defeat against last season’s runner-ups Gujarat Titans.

This venue has hosted IPL matches since the tournament's inception, and hence, it remains in the discussions about anything and everything IPL-related.

Throughout this article, we will highlight how the results have been here, and how the pitch has fared over the years before the two sides take on each other.

As many as 71 IPL matches have been played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, of which 41 times the chasing teams had the last laugh. Interestingly, the highest successful chase here is only 160, which means whichever team bat first, play more comfortably than the team bat second.

If you remember correctly, Alzarri Joseph, Mumbai Indians’ rookie who came as a replacement for injured Adam Milne in 2019, registered the best-ever bowling figure at this venue, that too in his debut outing.

Meanwhile, the highest innings score here is 231/2, which SRH, riding on the twin centuries of David Warner and Jonny Bairstow, achieved against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2019.
