Below you will find complete details of all IPL 2027 venues and the notable records created at these grounds in previous seasons.
1- Narendra Modi Stadium
India’s largest stadium, the Narendra Modi Stadium, is the home ground of the Gujarat Titans and has a seating capacity of approximately 132,000. Most of the Gujarat Titans’ home matches are played here, and because of the massive capacity, the stadium also generates strong revenue. When it comes to the pitch, it generally favors batting. It is not that bowlers don’t get anything out of it, but batsmen benefit the most on this surface.
Pitch Report
From a bowling standpoint, fast bowlers tend to get more assistance than spinners, but overall, it remains a batting-friendly pitch where batters enjoy conditions more than the bowlers. As for the dew factor, it plays an important role at this venue and can influence the match significantly. As the night progresses, the dew increases, making batting easier because the ball comes nicely onto the bat.
Toss
When it comes to the toss, teams usually prefer bowling first to avoid the dew factor later in the innings. During the chase, fast bowlers struggle to grip the ball properly, and dew further reduces movement, which benefits the batting side.
Now, let’s look at some stadium records. The highest total recorded at Narendra Modi Stadium is 227 by Rajasthan Royals against Kolkata Knight Riders. The highest successful chase at this venue belongs to Chennai Super Kings, who chased down a target of 206 against Mumbai Indians. The lowest total recorded at this ground is 98 by Delhi Capitals.
If you are a Gujarat Titans fan, then we highly recommend watching IPL 2027 matches at this venue, especially the opening phase of the season. It is a premium cricket experience, and supporting your team at their home ground is an unforgettable moment.
2- M. Chinnaswamy Stadium
M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is one of the standout venues of IPL 2027. It is known for high scoring targets and aggressive batting. This is the home ground of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and during IPL 2027, you will see the RCB playing several matches at this venue. The stadium has a seating capacity of around 40,000 spectators.
Pitch Report
As for the pitch, it is a batting-friendly surface. However, as the match progresses it provides some assistance to spin bowlers. The short boundaries make scoring easier for batters. Due to Bengaluru’s high altitude and thinner air, the ball travels further in the air, which results in long sixes.
Dew & Toss
The dew factor also plays an important role here. Under lights, as the match moves into the later stages, the ball becomes wet and chasing becomes easier because bowlers struggle to grip the ball. For this reason, teams that win the toss usually prefer to bowl first, and past records show that most matches at this venue have been won by chasing.
Chinnaswamy has witnessed several major records. The highest team total here is 287 runs, set by Sunrisers Hyderabad against RCB in 2024. The highest successful run-chase at this ground was achieved in 2010 by the Deccan Chargers. The lowest total recorded here is 82, when RCB were bowled out at their own home ground.
For the highest individual scores, Chris Gayle leads the chart at this venue. Overall, this stadium is special for cricket and known for high scoring matches. Expectations are that IPL 2027 will also deliver big records at this ground.
3- M.A. Chidambaram Stadium

Due to the slow conditions, most teams prefer to chase targets here, and many successful chases have been recorded for this reason. Therefore, teams winning the toss mostly opt to bowl first.
