The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is one of the premier cricket stadiums in India. Flanked by the picturesque Cubbon Park and the uptown MG Road, this three-decade-old stadium is situated in the heart of the city of Bangalore.

Formerly known as the Karnataka State Cricket Association stadium the ground was later rechristened in tribute to Mr. M. Chinnaswamy, who had served the KSCA for four decades and was also president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from 1977-1980.



The stadium has a capacity of 55,000 and regularly hosts Test match cricket, One Day Internationals and other First-class cricket matches including the Indian Premier League and is home to the Bangalore Royal Challengers.
