IPL 2025: 'Home advantage' Heated debate - how did BCCI respond to KKR and LSG's complaints? Explain | Mint

Home Advantage is a real phenomenon in football. Loisterous crowds and the nature of the grass significantly improve the chance of the home team. Does it exist in cricket, specifically in IPL? Let’s explore. IPL 2025: CSK head coach Stephen Fleming said CSK said CSK could not read the conditions in Chennai over the past year. His assessment came after CSK’s big defeat against RCB last Friday with 50 runs. KKR head coach Chandrakant Pandit also expressed his taste for favorable home conditions and confirmed that his team had no say in preparing stands at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. RCB head coach Andy Flower spoke to the press after the defeat of his team against Gujarat Titans, expressed a little surprise at the way the Chinnaswamy Stadium field wore, but did not blame the field for the final result. However, the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants, Zaheer Khan, made a rogue assessment of the field offered for the match against Punjab Kings. “Maybe it seemed like the Punjab curator was here,” Zaheer Khan says. What about the others? Punjab Kings play another home game. Mumbai Indians played just one home game and won a big win against KKR. Gujarat Titans bat coach Parthiv Patel confirmed to the host broadcaster that they had chosen the black ground field to destroy the Mumbaiindians fighters. Ahmedabad, the home room of Gujarat Titans, has both red soil and black bases. Sunrisers Hyderabad hit 286 in their first home game and lost the second home game against Lucknow Super Giants. What BCCI says the BCCI has rubbed all these claims. ‘The pitches have been good so far. Therefore, they may ask for stands that have more help for bowlers. But there must be better communication between the franchise and the curators. This cannot happen within a week of the IPL season, ‘the Times of India quoted a BCCI source. The BCCI guidelines clearly mention that the teams and players should not interfere in pitches preparation. IPL 2025: Home teams’ show The 18th edition saw 14 games, and the home teams managed to win 7 of it. Home teams have managed to win 57 percent of the matches in the 2024 season and win 39 of the 68 finished matches. IPL 2024: Best home teams compete the three teams with the worst home record in the last three positions in the league phase of IPL 2024. Sunrisers Hyderabad, the team with the best home record (5 wins in 6 games) made the final. Three teams KKK, CSK and DC-had the best record of the second second (5 wins in 7 games) and KKR made the final and clinched their 3rd IPL title. Historical execution CSK’s record at Ma Chidambaram Stadium is the best home record in the history of the league, and appropriately they won the most titles. Best home records in IPL, primary homeschy CSK in Chennai – 69.8% (5 titles) RR in Jaipur – 64.9% (1 title) SRH in Hyderabad – 62.7% (1 title) MI in Mumbai – 61.6% (5 titles) CRC in Kolkata – 58.4% (3 titles) 58.4%) DC, RCB and PBKS – by the way, the three teams are without an IPL title. The prospect of collecting the group based on the home room is one way to soften the circumstances. The other option, an expensive one, is to completely own the stadium. This will give a complete autonomy to team management. At the moment, the teams do not own the stadium. They pay rent to the Home State Cricket Association, which is attached to the BCCI.
