Former India cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar, has now become the talk of the town. He has become the first Indian cricketer to get a stadium named after him in England. Gavaskar is known for his tenacity and versatile batting. Widely admired across nations, he is considered to be one of the greatest to have ever graced the game for India.

In a report in The Times Of India, it has been revealed that the Leicester ground is all set to be named after the 1983 World Cup winner. The report further added that the wall of the Leicester ground has a portrait of Sunil Gavaskar in it. “I am delighted and honoured that a ground in Leicester is being named after me. Leicester is a city with possibly the strongest supporters of the game, especially Indian cricket, and therefore it is a huge honour indeed,” Gavaskar said to TOI.

Gavaskar has played some of the most famous knocks for the Indian cricket team and he is still respected beyond borders. The former batter is known for his courage and is now widely considered a role model for budding young talents. It has also been revealed that the former Indian batter will unveil his name plaque on the Leicester ground.

This is the first instance of an Indian cricketer getting a stadium named after him in England. This will mark a new journey for all the upcoming youngsters in England as they’ll look up to Gavaskar as long as they play there. On the other hand, it will also inspire the budding young brigade of the Indian cricket team to walk in his path. The tweets of his fans and the Indian cricket fans have been going viral.

Sunil Gavaskar has made India proud on many occasions. He has made the country proud once again. Over time, we might see many stadiums in England being renamed after former Indian players. For now, it is Gavaskar that’ll be in the minds of Indian fans.
