Virat Kohli became the first Indian player to play 100 T20 matches at a single venue. Kohli, on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, played against Lucknow in the Indian T20 leagues, marking his 100th T20 match at M.A. Chinnaswamy Stadium. No other player is even close to achieving this feat. Second on the list is Rohit Sharma, who has played 80 T20 matches at Wankhede Stadium, and third is M.S. Dhoni, who has played 69 T20 matches at M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.
M.A. Chinnaswamy is known for high scoring. It is the same stadium where the record for the highest-ever T20 runs (263/5) in the Indian T20 League was set, a record that Hyderabad and Kolkata later broke with 277 and 272 runs in 20 overs. Chris Gayle scored 175 alone on M.A Chinnaswamy against Yuvraj Singh’s Pune. So, it’s a stadium where records are made to be broken. Let’s look at Virat Kohli’s records in M.A. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Virat Kohli has a special connection with M.A. Chinnaswamy Stadium, thanks to the Bangalore Franchise, as he has been playing T20 games at Chinnaswamy since 2008. He has been the icon for the Bangalore Franchise in the Indian T20 League. Virat Kohli is the only player to play all 17 seasons for the same franchise. Loyalty at its very peak for King Kohli. He is the highest run-scorer at M.A. Chinnaswamy Stadium with 3,276 runs, boasting an average of almost 40 and a strike rate of approximately 142. Out of his 100 T20 matches at M.A. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Virat Kohli has scored 4 hundreds and 25 fifties.
Mayank Yadav, a 21-year-old from Delhi, has been in great form after taking 6 wickets in 2 Indian T20 games of 2024 so far. He has also made it to the list of the fastest I/P/L bowlers, joining Shaun Tait and Gerald Coetzee.
Mayank Yadav bowled at a speed of 156.7 km/h against Bangalore on April 2, 2024, Tuesday. A few days ago, he bowled at 155.8 km/h against Punjab. Bowling fast is good, but it’s also very important to take wickets and not give away too many runs. Mayank Yadav took three important wickets against R/C/B: Glenn Maxwell, Cameron Green, and Rajat Patidar. The speed and bounce Yadav delivers make it hard for batsmen to hit the ball well, often leading to them getting caught out. That’s Mayank Yadav’s strength.
