Arun Jaitley Stadium IPL Records

Arun Jaitley Stadium (formerly Feroz Shah Kotla) will once again serve as the venue for Delhi Capitals (DC) home matches during this year’s cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Over its long history, this legendary venue has witnessed unforgettable memories and record-setting performances that make every game truly spectacular.

Short boundaries at this ground favor batsmen, leading to high-scoring encounters. But bowlers have made their mark here through wicket-taking spells.

Scores

The Delhi ground is known for producing high-scoring matches. Many batsmen have achieved centuries at this venue including Roy Dias (Sri Lanka), Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, AB de Villiers, Kane Williamson and Usman Khawaja – with many more recording centuries on record in ODI matches here as well. Furthermore, fast bowling performances are frequently witnessed here as it was previously renamed Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium but later changed in honour of former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on 12 September 2019 after renaming Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium by virtue of his former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley who became known by this name on 12 September 2019.

Delhi Capitals call the DDCA-owned arena home due to security considerations. But they will surely enjoy playing on this pitch that has hosted 94 IPL matches over its history!

KL Rahul led Gujarat Titans (GT) to victory against DC by 10 wickets at Kotla in their last match there, scoring an unbeaten 112 off 65 balls. This wicket can be considered a batsman’s haven with its quick outfield and short boundaries; bowlers may find it challenging to extract any kind of swing once the new ball loses its sheen; however, spinners and seamers often find an edge here; this proved particularly true during opener Heinrich Klaasen’s blistering pace that caused havoc among Delhi defense in last match-up!

Wickets

After two away games, Delhi Capitals (DC) return home for their match against bottom-placed Rajasthan Royals (RR). KL Rahul scored an unbeaten 112 off 65 balls but DC could only manage to post 199/3 against Gujarat Titans; Tristan Stubbs and Abishek Porel made notable cameo appearances, but their total was insufficient against an especially flat Delhi wicket.

Arun Jaitley Stadium (formerly Feroz Shah Kotla) in Delhi serves as the home field of Delhi Capitals franchise team in Indian Premier League (IPL), hosting every match since 2008. Owned and managed by Delhi & District Cricket Association, it can be found on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg in New Delhi.

Arun Jaitley Stadium usually provides high-scoring encounters. The outfield is fast and the boundaries short. Spinners won’t find much help here from pacers or spinners alike; early on pacers might get some swing if their pacers can extract some. Once pacers run out of steam though, batsmen may struggle once the ball loses its shine; this ground has seen several big-hitters such as Dilip Vengsarkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar scoring tons; 15 batsmen scored hundreds in ODIs against India here while West Indies’ Viv Richards holds up this venue with 644 runs during an innings at Arun Jaitley Stadium against India back in 1959!

Memorable Moments

The Arun Jaitley Stadium (formerly Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium) in Delhi, India is owned and operated by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA), located on Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg in New Delhi. Constructed in 1883 as one of two functional international cricket stadiums dating back to 1883; today the venue hosts several matches from IPL 2024 tournament, such as DC hosting Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 20.

At this venue, high-scoring encounters are legendary and have produced some record scores, such as 266/7 scored by Sunrisers Hyderabad against DC in 2024 and the lowest successful run-chase recorded being 143/6 by Delhi Capitals against Punjab Kings in 2018. Rishabh Pant, Chris Gayle, and Jos Buttler are just three batsmen who have amassed centuries at this ground.

The pitch at this stadium clearly favours batters, as evidenced by its average first-inning score of 166. Ball tends to break late while spinners do not gain much assistance from the wicket. KL Rahul was one of those to take advantage of it most effectively at this venue by amassing 551 runs in 84 innings while smashing 58 sixes on this ground alone!

Upcoming Encounters

Arun Jaitley Stadium, also known as Feroz Shah Kotla is set to host what could be Sanju Samson’s team’s final league game of this season against Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Expect it to be an engaging contest!

Delhi venue’s batting-friendly surface provides ample opportunity for high scoring, with few spin bowlers receiving assistance once the new ball loses its sheen. Shorter boundary dimensions also encourage aggressive stroke play.

DC are currently fifth on the IPL 2025 points table and need one win against RCB to move closer towards a top four finish. Axar Patel’s side will look to keep their winning streak alive when hosting KKR at this same venue during match 46 of IPL 2025.

DC and KKR have faced off 12 times at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, with DC emerging victorious five times while losing to them seven. Both teams will likely go for victory and expect an intense and thrilling contest to ensue at this Arun Jaitley Stadium venue; DC’s 45 games played here make their record here better than all IPL teams at this ground.
