IPL 2026: Sticky Wicket Made Hard Lengths Effective, Confident CSK Can Chase 156, Says Gurjapneet
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh said the sticky and slow nature of the Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch made hard lengths effective for the fast bowlers, as the five-time champions restricted Delhi Capitals to 155/7 in their IPL 2026 clash on Tuesday.
“Of course. The wicket was a bit sticky at the start with the new ball, especially till the middle overs; it was a bit difficult to play from the hard length. So, we are just trying to keep on the same length,” Gurjapneet said to broadcasters at innings break.
The left‑arm quick, who returned with figures of 1-29 in four overs, explained that variations were less important once the surface began to grip. “But when we realised the wicket is like, if you're keeping on the same length, it's difficult to hit from the length. So, we're just trying to stick to the length,” he added.
