Jaipur: The Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur is set to host an IPL match after a gap of four years. The Rajasthan Royals, who have made the stadium their home since the inception of the Indian Premier League in 2008, will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their first home game of the season.

The Sawai Man Singh Stadium is one of the oldest cricket stadiums in India, with a seating capacity of 23,185. It has been a witness to many historic moments in Indian cricket, including some of the most memorable performances by Rajasthan Royals.

The Royals won the IPL title in the inaugural season of the tournament in 2008, and the Sawai Man Singh Stadium played a key role in their success. The pitch at the stadium is known to be slow and low, which suits the Royals’ style of play.

The Rajasthan Royals have a good record at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium, having won 32 out of the 60 matches they have played there. They have a win percentage of 53.33, which is the second-highest among all IPL teams at their home venue.

The return of IPL matches to the Sawai Man Singh Stadium will be a nostalgic moment for cricket fans in Jaipur and across India. The stadium has a rich history and has been the site of many memorable cricketing moments over the years.
