An iconic Sharjah cricket stadium stand has been renamed after Sachin Tendulkar in a special ceremony in the UAE, honouring the Indian cricket legend on his 50th birthday.
The West Stand at the iconic stadium has been renamed the 'Sachin Tendulkar Stand.'
Master Blaster has fond memories of this stadium. Exactly 25 years before the stand’s name changed, Tendulkar brought in the ‘Desert Storm’, back-to-back centuries against Australia in the 1998 Coca-Cola Cup.
He scored a staggering 143 on April 22, followed by 134 on his 25th birthday in the aforementioned tri-series, which also featured New Zealand.
The stadium is special for Sachin Tendulkar in another way. Out of the record 49 centuries he has scored all over the world, seven of them have come in the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
The iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) has named gates, which are used to enter the playing field, after legendary batters Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara.
The two greats became the first non-Australians to be commemorated by having parts of a stadium to be named after themselves.
