    Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium Pitch Report<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The Raipur surface is showing signs of being slow and a little difficult to make strokes during IPL 2026. Batsmen are expected to spend time adjusting to conditions before attacking freely, especially during powerplay overs where the new ball can provide movement for the fast bowlers. The spinners are also likely to get help in the middle overs due to the sluggish nature of the pitch. A score around 160-170 in the first innings could prove to be highly competitive on this surface.<\/p>\n
