Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur pitch history and T20 records

The upcoming IPL 2025 match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur will see the Rajasthan Royals facing off against the Gujarat Titans in a crucial showdown. For the Royals, this match is a do-or-die situation as they currently sit at the bottom of the table with seven defeats in nine matches. A loss against the Titans would virtually eliminate their chances of making it to the playoffs, making it imperative for them to secure a win in this game and their remaining five matches.

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium has seen a total of 59 IPL matches played on its turf, with teams batting second emerging victorious in 38 of those encounters. However, the most recent match at the venue saw the team batting first come out on top, adding an element of unpredictability to the pitch conditions.

Some notable statistics from previous IPL matches at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium include the highest team total of 217/6 set by SunRisers Hyderabad against the Rajasthan Royals in 2023, as well as the lowest team total of 59 runs scored by the Royals against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the same year. The highest successful run-chase at the stadium also stands at 217/6, achieved by SunRisers Hyderabad against the Royals in 2023.

In terms of individual performances, the highest individual score at the stadium was a remarkable 113* by Virat Kohli for RCB against the Royals in 2024, while the best bowling figures belong to Sohail Tanvir with 6/14 for RR against Chennai Super Kings in 2008.

The pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is known to favor batsmen more than bowlers, with scores in the range of 180 being common. Teams rarely breach the 200-run mark at this venue, but the match between the Gujarat Titans and Rajasthan Royals is expected to be a high-scoring affair given the pitch conditions.

In the last IPL match held at the stadium, the Lucknow Super Giants narrowly defeated the Rajasthan Royals by two runs in a thrilling encounter. Aiden Markram’s 66-run innings and Avesh Khan’s crucial bowling performance were the highlights of the match, as LSG defended their total of 180/5 against RR’s 178/5.

As the Rajasthan Royals gear up to face the Gujarat Titans in this must-win clash, all eyes will be on the Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch and the players’ performances as they strive to keep their playoff hopes alive.
