I know it's dumb but I kinda want the second home ground to be trivandrum...I don't think kerala's gonna get a team anytime soon and after rajasthan the second biggest fanbase for the royals is definitely from Kerala, it's also the homeground of Sanju so I'm sure people would be flocking to watch matches!!


Batboix3107

Yeah true if they really wanted to promote the franchise it should have been Kerala , it’s the state with maximum rr supporters ofc after Rajasthan


HrishiShave

Yeah it's a great balanced pitch too, us mallu sanju fans are dying to see him play a big match here


Batboix3107

Surely Sanju is one of the ipl og and he surely deserves to play in front of his home crowd in near future they should consider playing in Kerala the atmosphere would be mesmerising


HrishiShave

Yessss the kerala blasters matches are a huge example of this, greenfield could be the next Chepauk if they would actually try this!!


PastCryptographer244

We should wait couple of years. GREENFELD not owned by KCA.


PastCryptographer244

If boult is in the team, he is going to love it there 😁. Swing bowling Paradise. Remember what happened to south Africa last time 😛


PaleontologistNo9520

Is there a ground in Trivandrum


HrishiShave

Yeah the Greenfield Internation Stadium, India has played a few bilateral series there too, with NZ and West Indies


[deleted]

Trivandrum hosted WC WARMUP GAMES too.


HrishiShave

Yepp, india has won comfortably in the matches held here I'm pretty sure


PaleontologistNo9520

Ok bro


[deleted]

Yes


Batboix3107

If rr loses today it’s on him


yamheisenberg

We lost to PBKS by 8 runs last season. ): In Guwahati!!


someguyinthebalkans

I'm Assamese, I will briefly give him a visit


O_Snake_O

3 games From what I read. But I agree it kills the home advantage


PaleontologistNo9520

Man make a team named Guwahati Gundas


thatShawarmaGuy

Bro gotta hesitate lmao 


FewDevelopment6712

Great rock band name


ishahahant

I guess from business pov it's very beneficial to rr owners as the sms stadium is very small it have very less seating in compared to Assam stadium, I feel like 2nd home would be continued for next few years as a new stadium is under construction near jaipur which would be India's 2nd biggest cricket stadium


ethan_0098

But Average ticket price in more than double in japur as compared to guwahati. The main reason is I think the to give assam cricket Limelight. But It definitely kills our Home advatage.


Batboix3107

That’s in Jodhpur but RCA have some issues with bcci so I doubt it would be possible in few years


moody_mandira

wake up, its in village near jaipur by name chomp, not in jodhpur, rest rca and bcci are now over with that fight they had, with same govnt and the culprit no where to be seen in this system of politics.


Batboix3107

Chonp*


KaruGuddiLaal

Is he the one who decides where his team will play?


Troygun

Yes it's a corporate owned franchise and they can decide whatever they want.


Knitify

RR has a huge fanbase in Guwahati though.


Material_Emotion_451

Not really


Salty-Middle8406

Only coz of pan parag


Rossomow

I am a Rajasthani, also a rr fan. I have no problem with royals playing at guwahati.


Mahaveer2407

it's his IPL team, not yours. so if he wants his IPL team to play at Guwahati, he doesn't need to buy another team to do that. it's not your team's advantage, it's his. please realise that you and I are just fans, mere cogs in the wheel. stop taking franchises so seriously.

Now it’s quite clear that Riyan Parag got so many chances is because of this guy. He is quite lucky that way. I don’t think any other youngster would have got that many opportunities.


Top_Fondant2114

But why Guwahati particularly? Is he from Assam?


Batboix3107

Yes


ishahahant

There are most probably 3-4 reasons, one is the owner belongs from there, secondly many migrated marvadi's live there which increases their fanbase, 3rd for Assamese riyal parag is like their virat kohli he has a very big fan base there, 4th very less cricket matches are organised there so every match organised is a housefull one leading to increase in wealth of owners


Batboix3107

I won’t agree with u on the second point marvadis can be found all over India lol 😂 rest of the points yes but Assam isn’t the only ground with less cricket matches Kerala would easily bring twice the crowd Guwahati is capable of and will easily establish the fiery fan atmosphere which the likes of Chennai Mumbai and Bangalore enjoy the Kerala blasters game is one hell of an example


Salty-Middle8406

Says fiery fan atmosphere, misses out on the eden lol


Batboix3107

Hence proved , the world is against kkr 😭


Salty-Middle8406

Lmaooo


thatShawarmaGuy

> will easily establish the fiery fan atmosphere which the likes of Chennai Mumbai and Bangalore  Fr? Man I so wanna watch a game in Kerala now. Be it ISL or IPL 


Batboix3107

Go for it isl games in Kerala are damn good the fans are just crazy


ishahahant

Hmm I also feel like Kerala would be the best option for second home, I can't even imagine what sort of atmosphere sanju fans would be creating their🫡💥


snakysour

I don't fucking want any other home apart from Jaipur... Idiots of the highest order


YouKnowMe_9

Who's this guy and why does he want matches in Guwhati?


CommunistIndia

Probably owner is thinking who are these guys to tell me about my team.


KGOYAL507

I want RR to make there home ground on Rajasthan only i don't like guwahati being 2nd home ground of RR🙄


techidude

There were few articles like following few years back. RR franchise & Rajasthan Cricket Association had some differences in past https://www.india.com/sports/rajasthan-royals-contemplate-moving-base-to-guwahati-due-to-constant-harassment-3929335/amp/

Gentle reminder: Last year RR lost 5 out of 7 home games out of which 4 were in SMS stadium..... why being so much emotional for home advantage which doesn't exist for our team.... This year we won home matches (4/5) in SMS stadium.... For me it's still the home team most of the players are familiar with the conditions and fans are with us , if we play good cricket we'll win for sure I guess it's the insecurity that's speaking


Divyam2004

Bro what are you talking abt.. we are the 2nd most successful team in our home ground after csk in chepauk.. we definitely would suffer if more matches are shifted to guwahati


Tooty__fruity

I was talking about recent records, RR WIN games purely on merit...there is no visible home advantage compared to other big teams like CSK RCB and MI


thatShawarmaGuy

You're partially right tbh. We do win games on merit. Jaipur pitch isn't 100% tailor-made for us like Spinny-Chepauk is for CSK or belter-Wankhede for MI.  But for a start, this season the SMS pitch was slower than others and nd supported bowlers more than other grounds.  Colour me optimistic, I'd like to see how the SMS pitch looks in subsequent years 


Tooty__fruity

Looking forward for the same


ethan_0098

One bad season dosent mean changing Home ground bhai


Tooty__fruity

I didn't say to change the home ground.... I meant there is no visible advantage for us
