Pitch reports for the 10 IPL home grounds: average scores, chasing and toss records, record totals and top players at each. Data: Cricsheet.

Each page is a pitch report for one IPL home ground, built from the numbers rather than from adjectives: the average first-innings score over the full record and since 2022, how often the side batting second wins, what toss winners choose and how it works out, record totals and the leading run-scorers and wicket-takers. Since 2022 the average first innings across all IPL grounds is 186.4, from 197.3 at Eden Gardens down to 172.7 at Chepauk. All figures come from the Cricsheet IPL archive, 2008 to 2026. Markets on fixtures like these are open on [Cricketin](/en), with stakes in rupees.
