[WATCH] Virat Kohli opens up on fondness for Chinnaswamy Stadium

Ace India and Royal Challengers Bengaluru batter Virat Kohli was part of an event in Mumbai in which he candidly spoke about his love for the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Kohli has been a constant part of RCB ever since the inaugural edition of the IPL.

He expressed that he has been welcomed with great warmth at most venues he has played at. However, Kohli reserved special praise for the Chinnaswamy, which he termed as a “very special” ground for him.

“To be very honest, I have received a lot of support in most places I have played in and the fans have been truly amazing. But I think the ground which really stands out for me, of course the Chinnaswamy at Bengaluru. Yeah, that ground will always be very special for me,” stated Kohli at the Asian Paints event.

For the unversed, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently revealed Asian Paints as India‘s Colour Partner for three years. 

The announcement of the multinational company partnering up with the Indian team was made before two ICC events in 2026: the T20 World Cup and the Women’s T20 World Cup.  The three-year collaboration is reported to be valued at around INR 45 crore.

Kohli, who was an integral component of RCB in their title-winning campaign earlier in the year (657 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 144.71), will next feature in competitive cricket for the Indian team in their upcoming ODI series against South Africa. He had recently played three matches Down Under against Australia, his first set of competitive fixtures after the Champions Trophy in the United Arab Emirates.
