Bengaluru

Bangalore is also popular for playing cricket. Bangalore also has the M Chinaswamy Stadium and is home to the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League and Women's Premier League. Chinaswamy Stadium also hosts international matches against teams. Chinaswamy Stadium is also known for its energetic crowd in cheering the Royal Challengers Bangalore former captain Virat Kohli and the rest of the team, especially when they win. Book tickets early especially for IPL matches because when Royal Challengers Bengaluru is playing, the tickets get sold out within seconds. If you arrive in January or February, book tickets for the Women's Premier League as it takes place in those months and is often less crowded than the IPL matches. Always carry a water bottle while travelling to Chinaswamy Stadium.
