A cricket ground in England’s Leicester has been named after India batting legend Sunil Gavaskar.
The former Indian cricket team captain is often considered as one of the most skilled batters ever.
He was the first cricketer to score 10,000 runs and once held the record for most number (34) of centuries.
He was also part of the Indian team that won the 1983 World Cup.
Gavaskar himself was present at the 5-acre ground on July 23 to inaugurate a plaque installed in his honour.
The initiative for the naming of the ground after the Indian legend was taken by Keith Vaz, UK’s longest serving Parliamentarian of Indian origin.

International Dance Day was observed on April 29.
