Pitch Report
The pitch at Chepauk is traditionally known for being a slow and spin-friendly surface. It generally starts off with a good balance between bat and ball but tends to favor spin as the game progresses. Early on, the surface provides some assistance to fast bowlers, with bounce and seam movement, though this is less pronounced compared to other Indian pitches.
