Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium has been a happy hunting ground for Kohli right from the first innings he played there against Australia in 2013 where he scored a hundred, he has had some good knocks on the ground.
On a traditionally spin-friendly wicket, the veteran has played four Test matches and also scored half-centuries. The last time he played at the venue was back in 2021.
He came into the game as the captain against England in the Test that the home team won, thanks to R Ashwin's 8/96 bowling figures and an innings of 106 runs while batting in the second innings.
As Virat returns to Chennai after three years, let us check out his stats at this venue.
