What is the pitch like at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium?

Sunday's match will be the first of the IPL 2025 season at the Sawai Mansing Stadium, giving an unfair idea of the pitch. However, judging by last season, the pitch has plenty to offer for batters and little help later in the day for spinners. Overall, it is a 200-run per-inning track and we can expect some big shots on offer during the contest.

3 Top Captain Or Vice-Captain Choices

1. Yashasvi Jaiswal 

Advertisment

Yashasvi Jaiswal will open the batting and scored 435 runs in 15 matches in the previous edition. He will be a good captaincy pick for this match.

2. Virat Kohli 

Virat Kohli is the leading run-getter in this history of IPL with more than 8000 runs. He will be a good captaincy pick for this match.

3. Josh Hazlewood

So far with eight wickets in the IPL 2025, Hazlewood has been a good value-for-money player. We expect him to perform well and get at least a couple of wickets to justify his selection.
