Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report: Is The Surface Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad has mostly favoured the batters, as evidenced by the average run rate of 10.77 at this venue in the IPL 2025. However, the previous game witnessed a slightly slower deck, as the batters struggled to get going at this venue. 

Having said that, the Orange Army might revert to a placid batting deck considering their own batters failed to score on the sluggish surface. So, the fast bowlers might not get significant help while the batters can enjoy the track's pace and bounce to score brisk runs. 

Meanwhile, the spinners might get some turn as it's the fourth IPL 2025 game at this venue. If it's a flat batting-friendly pitch, the toss-winner might opt to bowl first.
