RCB homeboy and Indian senior cricket team's superstar Virat Kohli is set to return to his den for the series final against Afghanistan, and ahead of the crucial game, let's look at the batting stalwart's stats at Bengaluru's M.Chinnaswamy Stadium.

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a hitter-friendly stadium. The boundaries are extremely short, thus making bowlers' lives a living hell. The IPL games conducted at this venue have witnessed some record-breaking hits in the recent past. 

It's safe to say no target is big enough on Chinnaswamy's pitch, and thus, the upcoming fixture between India and Afghanistan is expected to produce fireworks on Wednesday.

The most awaited moment for Bengaluru fans is to witness RCB star Virat Kohli in action. For Kohli, who has been associated with RCB since the inception of IPL, to return to Chinnaswamy will be no less than a moment of homecoming.

While fans will expect a staggering show from the former RCB captain, the batter's stats in the shorter format at this venue are not too promising.
