Capacity: 55,000 Bangalore,India
Regarded as one of the premier cricket stadiums in India, the ground was renamed from Karnataka State Cricket Association Stadium to M Chinnaswamy to honour the president of the Indian board from 1977 until 1980, who was also involved in Karnataka cricket for over 40 years. The stadium, despite not being completed, gained Test status in 1974-75 and hosted the West Indies in the opening match. In 1982 it hosted the first ODI in India and was renovated in the mid 1990s for the Indian Premier League. It is also the home of the National Cricket Academy.
