Chinnaswamy Stadium, suggesting his aggressive gameplay would be perfectly suited to the venue.
In an exclusive interview, Gous highlighted that playing at the Chinnaswamy would be "really cool" due to the ground's reputation as a small field where "the ball flies." This revelation offers a glimpse into the global appeal of the IPL and specific franchises like RCB, whose star power transcends international boundaries.
