New Delhi: The Indian Premier League (IPL), one of the most prestigious leagues in the world, is going to start at the end of this month. Meanwhile, there is a happy news for the fans of defending champion RCB, as the team management has officially announced the venue of their home matches.

Location of RCB home matches

There was a discussion going on for a long time about where RCB will play its home matches this year, and now the answer has been found. According to the information received, RCB will play five of its seven home matches at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The remaining two matches will be held at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur.

Security measures at Chinnaswamy Stadium

After winning the title last season, the stampede incident at Chinnaswamy Stadium had left everyone in deep shock, in which 11 people lost their lives.
