MA Chidambaram pitch report
Chepauk hasn’t been a batting paradise. It offers a good balance between bat and ball. While batsmen can score runs freely if they play with patience and technique, the pitch offers assistance to spinners later in the innings as it wears down. The skipper winning the toss might opt to bowl first.
