The venue not only handled three high-profile games smoothly but also served as the home ground for Rajasthan Royals, who enjoyed a perfect record there, winning all three matches against Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Behind this successful run was the steady and often unseen work of the curator and groundsmen. Operating under challenging weather conditions, they ensured that the pitches were prepared and maintained to a high standard throughout the tournament. Their efforts helped deliver consistent playing surfaces and ensured the matches were conducted without any disruption.
The ACA said the ground staff played a central role in maintaining the venue’s growing reputation on the national stage, with their work proving crucial to the smooth execution of every fixture.
In recognition of their contribution, the association confirmed a ₹25 lakh reward for the curator and ground staff involved in preparing the stadium.
ACA president Taranga Gogoi and honorary secretary Sanatan Das praised the team’s professionalism and commitment, stating that their dedication was key to the seamless organisation of the matches.
The association further acknowledged that while players and results often dominate headlines, it is the ground staff who form the backbone of match operations, ensuring conditions are fit for top-level cricket.
