The Mangalam Chinnaswamy Stadium, also known as the Karnataka State Cricket Association Stadium, [3] is a cricket stadium in the Bengaluru city of the Indian state of Karnataka. The ground is owned by the Government of Karnataka and operated by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). [4]

Contents

Flanked by the picturesque Cubbon Park, Queen's Road, Cubbon and uptown MG Road, this five-decade-old stadium is situated in the heart of the city of Bangalore. It regularly hosts Test, ODI, T20I and first-class cricket matches, as well as musical, cultural events. The stadium is the home ground of the Karnataka state cricket team, Karnataka women's cricket team and IPL franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore. [5] It is owned by the Government of Karnataka and has been leased out to the KSCA for a period of 100 years.

Formerly known as the Karnataka State Cricket Association Stadium, it was later rechristened in tribute to Mangalam Chinnaswamy, a lawyer from Mandya and the founding member of the Mysore State Cricket Association. [6] He served the KSCA for four decades and was also president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) from 1977 to 1980, latter's National Cricket Academy also situated in the premises of this stadium.

It is the first cricket stadium in the world to use solar panels to generate a bulk of the electricity needed to run the stadium. [7] The panels were procured through the "Go Green" initiative of the KSCA. [8] [9] In 2016 a water purification plant was added, [10] and by January 2017 a sophisticated system of aeration and drainage was in place to avoid matches being curtailed due to a wet outfield. [11]

History

With generous patronage from the Government of Karnataka, the foundation stone of this stadium was laid in 1969 and construction work commenced in 1970. The stadium was first used for First-class cricket matches during the 1972–73 season. It earned test status during the 1974–75 season when the West Indies toured India. [12] [13]

The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) stadium, as it was known was later renamed as a tribute to M. Chinnaswamy, who was the BCCI President from 1977 to 1980 and the Secretary and President of KSCA. [12] [13] Born in Mandya in 1900, he was the founding member of the Mysore State Cricket Association and a lawyer by profession. [6] He, helped by other eminent people, was instrumental in prevailing upon the Government of Karnataka to allot the ground for cricket in the prime MG Road area in 1969. [14]

The first Test played at this stadium was on 22–27 November 1974. [13] This was the debut Test match for the West Indian batsmen Viv Richards and Gordon Greenidge. The West Indians led by Clive Lloyd crushed M. A. K. Pataudi's Indian team by 256 runs. India registered their first Test win on this ground against the touring English team led by Tony Greig in 1976–77. The first ODI match at this venue was played on 6 September 1982. India defeated Sri Lanka by six wickets in that match.

Floodlights were first installed at this stadium for the 1996 Wills World Cup. The first match played here under lights was the quarter-final clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan on 9 March 1996 in which India defeated Pakistan by 39 runs. In 2007, in the 3rd Test Match between India and Pakistan, Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh led a 300 run partnership fightback from 61/4, breaking several records. India's 365/5 at stumps was the highest first day score in India. The 300 run partnership was the highest partnership at the stadium and the highest left-hander batsmen partnership. Sourav Ganguly's 239 is the highest left-hander score.

Since the BCCI chose Bangalore as the centre for the National Cricket Academy in 2000, many budding cricketers have passed out of the academy housed on this ground. Chinnaswamy Stadium is also the home ground of the Bangalore franchise team, the Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was painted in red and yellow, the team colours of the Royal Challengers and also the colours of the Karnataka flag (cultural flag). This stadium also served as the venue for the 1996 Miss World pageant, when it was first held in India. [15]

Features

Karnataka state cricket association claims that their stadium is world's only solar powered cricket stadium. They inspired to install a solar system at the stadium from Germany's Freiburg football stadium, which is fully powered by solar energy. KSCA initiated the ₹4.5 Cr and 400 KW project in February 2015. [16]

The venue has 33,800 seats. [1] It's ground is small thus it has small boundaries, due to this batting teams often score high totals here. It is evident by the fact that in the 2023 Indian Premier League edition, teams scored 210 plus runs on four and 170+ on three occasions in 8 innings played here. As per Royal Challengers Bangalore's bowler Harshal Patel "It is hard to bowl at the Chinnaswamy. It is a small ground and the ball generally flies". [17] [18] [19] [20] [21]

Cricket World Cups

This stadium has hosted One Day International (ODI) matches for all editions of the World cups, when India was a host/co-host.

Sustainability initiatives

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has adopted several sustainability initiatives to minimise its environmental impact.

Solar energy utilization

The stadium is recognised for its utilisation of solar energy. A solar power plant was established, generating over six lakh units of electricity in the first year and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 600 tonnes. [26] The solar panels, initially installed on the east end, are being extended to the west end to increase electricity generation.

Water management

A comprehensive water management system is in place, which includes rainwater harvesting and a sewage treatment plant. The treatment plant recycles sewage water for turf watering, gardening, and landscaping. This initiative was developed in collaboration with the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewage Board (BWSSB). [27]

Subair drainage system

The 'subair drainage system' installed at the stadium facilitates rapid water drainage, allowing the ground to dry within 10 to 15 minutes after heavy rains, thus minimising match interruptions due to wet conditions. [28]

Other Eco-friendly measures

Additional measures to reduce environmental impact include a water purification plant and an efficient aeration and drainage system. [29]

Recognition and replication

The sustainability initiatives at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium have been noted, with some cricket associations in India considering replicating these initiatives. These eco-friendly projects were self-funded by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). [30]

Records and statistics

On 14 June 2018, after being granted 'Test Status' by the ICC in 2017, Afghanistan played their first ever test match at this venue against India.
