The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has decided to rename Delhi’s Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium after former DDCA President and BCCI Vice-President Arun Jaitley. The renaming ceremony will be held on September 12. Also, a stand of the iconic stadium will be named after Team India captain Virat Kohli.
DDCA took to Twitter to make the all-important announcement: “Kotla to be renamed as Arun Jaitley Stadium. The renaming of Delhi’s famous cricket venue as Arun Jaitley Stadium will take place on September 12 at a function where a Stand of the ground will be named after India captain Virat Kohli.”
News Alert: Kotla to be renamed as Arun Jaitley Stadium.
In a fitting tribute to its former president Arun Jaitley, @delhi_cricket has decided to name the Stadium after him. Mr Jaitley, who passed away on August 24, was president of the DDCA from 1999 to 2013. @BCCI— DDCA (@delhi_cricket) August 27, 2019
Cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir on Tuesday appreciated DDCA’s decision of renaming Feroz Shah Kotla stadium to Arun Jaitley Stadium.
“I am very happy because he deserves this. He gave Delhi a world-class stadium with world-class facilities. It (renaming of stadium) is a good thing but it would have been much better if it was renamed when he was alive. It would have been a perfect gift for him,” Gambhir told ANI.
The BJP MP from East Delhi? al??so said that he wished to rename Yamuna Sports Complex as Arun Jaitley Sports Complex.
“In my constituency, it is the biggest sports complex, Yamuna sports complex. I think it will be a perfect gift for him from me if Yamuna sports complex is renamed as Arun Jaitley sports complex. I have proposed it in the committee and if it gets cleared, everyone will be happy, especially the East Delhi constituency.”
Here’s the video �?/p>
Gambhir had even tweeted, attaching a copy of his letter to the Delhi Lt. ??Governor Anil Baijal.
“May he remain in our hearts forever. As a mark of respect to our beloved leader, I hereby propose to rename ‘Yamuna Sports Complex’ as ‘Arun Jaitley Sports Complex. #RIPJaitleySir.”

]]>India continued to dominate the proceedings in the third Test against Sri Lanka but the visitors’ tactics after lunch on Day 2 forced Virat Kohli to declare the Indian innings at 536 for 7.
Just as India looked to set bat and score over 600, Sri Lankan players were seen wearing masks. Also, their captain Dinesh Chandimal‘s constant complaints of “smog” and some players going off the pitch, led to the Indian captain declaring.
There we??re also plenty of reactions from the followers of the game on the micro-blog??ging website, as they were unhappy with the Sri Lankan players attitude.
Let’s have a look at some of the best tweets:

Shame on Sri Lanka cricketers behaving like kids on the ground. What say @OfficialSLC. We will soon call your Farce. India declares and your team’s defeat is just around the corner. Go team India and show them how to play cricket as per rules & regulations @BCCI

If I heard and understood right, another commentator on Star says, 'Sri Lanka are hiding their faces behind the mask not because the air is bad but their performance is.' #INDvSL

Sri Lankan players are wearing mask now due to smog. Not good for the game.#INDvSL #DelhiPollution
