Overview
- New LED floodlights at Sawai Mansingh Stadium went live this season, and early home games featured dropped catches that players linked to glare.
- Kumar Sangakkara explained that the LEDs are far brighter than at other grounds, which changed how fielders pick up the ball in the night sky.
- After feedback from the Royals, stadium staff lowered mounts and changed the direction of several lights, which Sangakkara said improved conditions by the second match.
- Reporting says the upgrade lifted peak brightness to about 3,500 lux, a sharp jump for a venue previously known for weaker lighting.
- Jaipur now prepares for Gujarat Titans with officials monitoring the setup as players keep adjusting to the new look and sightlines.
