He wrote, “In Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and other places, the main cricket stadiums are named after great players from that city or state. Yet, there are no stands in the names of Vishi, Prasad and Chandra in Bengaluru. On behalf of the cricket fans of the state, I urge you and the KSCA to name the stand after these three great cricketers who have upheld the spirit of the game on and off the field.” Guha has also suggested if KSCA does not agree to change the name. “If KSCA does not agree to this, I would like to suggest that the state government name the roads adjacent to the stadium after him.” Guha is not the only person to say this. Recently, at a felicitation ceremony of the 1974 Karnataka Ranji team, former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar shared this through a video. He had said- “I hope that on the occasion of this golden jubilee, KSCA will name some of the stands at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium after these legendary players and honor them, especially those who won the Ranji Trophy for the first time, Prasanna, BS Chandrasekhar, Gundappa Vishwanath….”

IPL 2024: Not Gavaskar-Sachin-Dhoni, but in the eyes of Navjot Singh Sidhu, Virat Kohli is the all-time great batsman.

Virat Kohli & Navjot Singh Sidhu (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Former Indian cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu has rated Virat Kohli as the best Indian batsman, calling him better than cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and MS Dhoni. Kohli is breaking many batting records one after the other. He recently completed the fastest 13,000 ODI runs and also became the first player to score 50 centuries in this format. The 35-year-old Kohli had also broken Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most runs in a single edition of the ODI World Cup by scoring 765 runs in the tournament last year. Speaking to India Today ahead of IPL 2024, Sidhu said that the way Kohli has adapted to all three formats makes him the best Indian batsman so far. Navjot Singh Sidhu spoke big in praise of Virat Kohli Sidhu said that, I have rated him the best Indian batsman till date. There was a time when I used to put on my transistor and listen to Sunil Gavaskar batting against West Indies, that was the 70s. The great West Indies fast bowler, bunking school and just going out for a period and hearing how he was batting without a helmet, that was his era. His dominance lasted for about 15-20 years. Then Tendulkar came, another era came. Then came Dhoni and then came Virat. If you look at these four, I would consider them the best because they have adapted to all three formats.” The former cricketer further said, “If you look at these four, he will be the fittest. Tendulkar had to face many problems in the last phase of his career. Dhoni, he was fit, but Virat is super fit. It keeps him in good shape. It takes him to a level, a few notches above, that others have not been able to achieve. The longevity factor, gives it a plus point. The adaptability factor is the icing on the cake.”
