Rural Development Trust Stadium Pitch Report
Anantapur Cricket Ground is different from other pitches in India as it gives bounces from the surface, which is rare in Indian grounds. Unlike the typical slow, low, dustbowl surfaces found elsewhere, these pitches provide plenty of bounce, making it a haven for pace bowlers.
This is evident on the stadium’s honours board, where fast bowlers outshine spinners in the tally of five-wicket hauls.
