Rajasthan Royals smashed 210 runs in the first game of the tournament at this very venue. A black soil surface will be used for this game, which offers assistance to the batters, and the spinners get some grip from the pitch. Yuzvendra Chahal (4-0-22-3) bowled a brilliant spell against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The dew won’t be a major factor at this venue, so the value of the toss isn’t that much as compared to the venues in Mumbai. Although, both teams would want to chase first at this venue as well.
