The MA Chidambaram Stadium, popularly referred to as Chepauk, is getting ready to erupt once more in 2024 when the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) return to town. This iconic stadium is well-known for its fervent supporters and a pitch that has always supported a particular way of playing.
Many teams prefer to bat first on the pitch and then carefully field the ball to defend their score because, although the pitch may appear advantageous in the early going, it eventually becomes difficult to score quality runs there.
It appears that the Chepauk Stadium pitch, which is known to be slower than average, will remain that way for the duration of the season, helping spinners and slow bowlers. Unlike other Indian venues, the MA Chidambaram Stadium does not have a high-scoring pitch.
