As per Royal Challengers Bangalore's bowler Harshal Patel "It is hard to bowl at the Chinnaswamy. It is a small ground and the ball generally flies".[16][17][18][19][20]

Sustainability initiatives
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has adopted several sustainability initiatives to minimise its environmental impact.
Solar energy utilization
The stadium is recognised for its utilisation of solar energy. A solar power plant was established, generating over six lakh units of electricity in the first year and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 600 tonnes.[25] The solar panels, initially installed on the east end, are being extended to the west end to increase electricity generation.
Water management
A comprehensive water management system is in place, which includes rainwater harvesting and a sewage treatment plant. The treatment plant recycles sewage water for turf watering, gardening, and landscaping. This initiative was developed in collaboration with the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewage Board (BWSSB).[26]
Subair drainage system
The 'subair drainage system' installed at the stadium facilitates rapid water drainage, allowing the ground to dry within 10 to 15 minutes after heavy rains, thus minimising match interruptions due to wet conditions.[27]
Other Eco-friendly measures
Additional measures to reduce environmental impact include a water purification plant and an efficient aeration and drainage system.[28]
Recognition and replication
The sustainability initiatives at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium have been noted, with some cricket associations in India considering replicating these initiatives. These eco-friendly projects were self-funded by the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA).[29]
