Jaipur pitch is great for batsmen!

There’s every chance of runs being scored in Jaipur.

The pitch’s dimensions are also interesting, with 65 meters on each side and a straight shot length of 76 meters, which will allow the batsmen to play freely.

WV Raman clearly stated that the pitch at this ground has always been helpful for batsmen, and this time too, the situation looks no different. The pitch has been prepared and thoroughly rolled over the past week, making it look even better.
