Dew has always been a factor at Kolkata and both teams would want to chase here. The highest IPL score on this ground is 232 runs, whereas the lowest is 49 runs. After the new layout of the pitch, the pacers enjoy bowling on this track.

Gautam Gambhir has scored the most IPL runs on this ground, whereas Sunil Narine has been the highest wicket-taker. In ODI cricket, Rohit Sharma scored a knock of 264 runs on this very ground. Kolkata’s pitch has generally been a brilliant wicket to bat on, and there is an even bounce on the surface. The dew in the 2nd innings will make batting much easier under the lights.
