Chepak’s pitch has been helpful to spinners lately. Although this time the pitch preparation has been done under the supervision of IPL instead of Chennai Super Kings, it is still expected that the spinners can show amazing here. Rahul Chahar and Rashid Khan bowled well in the last match. There have been 4 matches on this ground so far this season. The team batting first could win 3 and the team batting later won only 1 match. A total of 62 wickets have fallen on this pitch in the 14th season. Out of this, the spinners have taken 20 wickets.
