Pune cricket stadium IPL records: Who has scored most runs and picked most wickets in IPL matches at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium?

Pune cricket stadium IPL records: Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium has hosted a total of 51 T20s till now.

While the fourth match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals will be the first match of the season for both these teams, it will also be the first match for Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.

One of the four venues to host 70 IPL 2022 league matches, Pune will be hosting an IPL match after four years. Previous instances of Pune hosting IPL matches are IPL 2012 and 2013 (home ground to Pune Warriors India), IPL 2015 (home ground to the then Kings XI Punjab), IPL 2016 and 2017 (home ground to Rising Pune Supergiants) and IPL 2018 (home ground to Chennai Super Kings).

Talking exclusively about these two teams, Hyderabad have won one and lost two out of their three IPL matches in Pune in the past. Rajasthan, who’ve played five T20s here, have won two and lost three matches.

A red soil pitch unlike the ones in Mumbai, the surface at the MCA Stadium might assist spinners more not just on Tuesday but throughout this season.
