The IPL 2012 has raised some interesting issues with home sides performances. One of the most startling statistics was that the Deccan Chargers win at the Ranjiv Gandhi International Stadium was only their second here out of 19 fixtures played at this venue. There has also been a common theme of home captains seeming unsure of how the wicket would play with Harbhajan virtually admitting as much when he was interviewed at the toss for the 65^th match of the IPL 2012 when Mumbai hosted Kolkata at the Wankhede. In that fixture the Kolkata Knight Riders played a strong spin attack against the home sides strong seam attack and were comfortable winners. These incidents raised the question: How good are IPL teams at home?
