Virat Kohli to play VHT at Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium after clearance

  • Virat Kohli will play his Vijay Hazare Trophy matches at Bengaluru's M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
  • The stadium is cleared to host matches again after being deemed "unfit" following a stampede incident in June.
  • The stampede during RCB's IPL victory celebrations resulted in 11 fatalities and led to the stadium's temporary closure.
  • Newly-elected KSCA chief Venkatesh Prasad secured government approval for the stadium's reopening.
  • KSCA plans to implement safety recommendations in phases and aims for Chinnaswamy to host IPL matches next year.

Why It Matters: Chinnaswamy Stadium's return to hosting matches signals resolved safety concerns.
