Dynastic histories converge at the Feroz Shah Kotla cricket ground. Named after Feroz Shah Tughlaq of the Tughlaq dynasty from the 14th century, the stadium stands tall at Delhi’s bustling Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg named after the 19th century Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar.

Established in 1883, the Kotla was formerly known as the Willingdon Pavilion in the imperial days of the British Raj. The recently renovated stadium offers the spectator a superb viewing experience.

The ground is currently patronised by the Delhi District Cricket Association. The Feroz Shah Kotla is home to the Delhi Daredevils, but with Anil Kumble having completed his famous ten-wicket haul in a single innings against Pakistan here in 1999, it is also a favourite of the Bangalore Royal Challengers skipper.
 
The M. Chinnaswamy stadium, formerly known as the Karnataka State Cricket Association stadium (KSCA), is named after the visionary cricket administrator and former president of the Indian Board – M Chinnaswamy. Located right in the heart of Bengaluru, at a stone’s throw from the bustling M G Road, the stadium is both accessible and spectacular. The ground made its international debut in 1974-75, hosting the first Test of the series between India and West Indies.

Since then, the stadium has witnessed the unfolding of many historic moments like Viv Richards’ Test debut in 1974 -75; Gavaskar’s epic 96-run innings in the final Test of the 1987 series against arch-rivals Pakistan; and, more recently, Ajay Jadeja’s blitzkrieg against Pakistan in the 1996 World Cup quarter-finals. The Chinnaswamy always has a carnival feel to it, irrespective of the home side’s fortunes – the ground offers the spectator a great viewing experience.It is the home ground of Royal Challengers Bangalore.
