Watch: Virat Kohli reflects on his favorite ground during Asian Paints event 2025
Watch the video that went viral around the social media platforms where the veteran right-handed batter, Virat Kohli, reflected on his favorite ground during the recent event of the Asia Paints.
The former Indian all-format captain, Virat Kohli, has returned to India to prepare for the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa, which begins on November 30 at the JSCA International Cricket Complex in Ranchi before the action moves to Raipur for the second encounter.
Ahead of that clash, Virat Kohli was present at an Asian Paints event where he spoke about the support and love he has received over the years at the icnonic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, having played for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) since the very first season of the tournament in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history.
“To be very honest, I am really happy to see the support in every place wherever I go and play, and the fans are truly amazing. But I think of the two grounds that have really stood out for me are, of course, the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.” Kohli expressed in that event as the crowd went berserk with his words.

Kohli, who smashed a fine half-century in the third ODI of the previous away series against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) after two ducks in the first couple of games in Perth and Adelaide, has enjoyed his time in Bengaluru in the 50-over format. The right-handed batter collected 203 runs in seven innings at an average of 29.
In terms of the IPL, Kohli has a phenomenal record at the very ground, with the former leader recording 3202 runs in 91 innings at an average of 40.04 and a strike rate of 143.59 with the help of 41 half-centuries at the best score of 113. The roar and support he receives at the ground is just unmatchable.
The Delhi batter will again turn up for the RCB side in the 2026 season of the IPL, but there is no guarantee of whether he will feature in the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, which could be banned from hosting any IPL game next season.
