Why Chinnaswamy Suits Kohli
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is one of the smallest grounds in IPL — with short boundaries on both sides and a true batting surface. The high-altitude conditions in Bengaluru mean the ball travels further, and the dew in evening matches makes it easier for batters chasing totals.
Kohli, who bats at number three for RCB, thrives in chase situations — and Chinnaswamy's conditions align perfectly with his aggressive, front-foot style of play.
