The surface at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur offers a balanced, generally sporting wicket that favours fast bowlers early with good bounce, but slows down to assist spinners later. While it can be tricky initially, it is considered a good, fair batting wicket once set. However, large boundaries make clearing the ropes difficult, demanding good shot placement. The average first innings score in the IPL is around 172 here.
