The seventeenth season of the Indian Premier League kicks off on Friday, with fierce rivals Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on each other in the tournament opener. 

Led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK have a formidable core studded with outright match-winners like MS Dhoni, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell and Ravindra Jadeja. 

Meanwhile, RCB also have a solid squad, with impactful performers such as Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell. 

So, as the stage is set for a high-voltage Southern Derby clash, let's see how the surface at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is expected to behave throughout the contest. 


MA Chidambaram Stadium Chennai Pitch Report

The relaid surface at the iconic MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai contains black soil and is expected to offer an even contest between bat and ball. 

As it's an evening game, the new ball bowlers might get a hint of swing in the powerplay due to the sea breeze. 

However, with the summer season approaching, we don't expect considerable moisture on the surface. So, the seamers are unlikely to get any lateral movement, with the batters likely to enjoy their time in the middle for most parts of the game. 

However, the spinners might play a significant role here, considering the Chennai track's tendency to offer genuine turn, particularly in the second half. 

Expect a fresh pitch for the tournament opener, so don't be surprised if the toss-winning side opts to chase.
