RR vs CSK Pitch Report
Experts Daren Ganga and Shane Watson analyzed the pitch and said:
“The pitch is similar to the one used other night. It is compact and has a sheen, but it is dry. The middle overs could be crucial for the bating team especially against quality spin bowlers. This might not be a 200-run wicket, but expect a great game of cricket.”
