The Leicester Cricket Ground is name after Sunil Gavaskar, and the legend considers himself “blessed.” Sunil Gavaskar Field in Leicester named after the legendary cricketer.
Sunil Gavaskar is a world cricketing legend. The former Indian cricket team captain is widely regarded as one of the greatest batters of all time. He was the first cricketer to score 10,000 runs and held the record for the most centuries (34) at one time. During the West Indies’ reign of terror in the 1970s and 1980s, Gavaskar dazzled with his technique against the Windies’ fast bowlers. He was also a member of India’s World Cup-winning team in 1983. A cricket ground in Leicester has now been named after the legendary cricketer.

The Leicester Cricket Ground is named after Sunil Gavaskar,
“I’m honored to have a stadium named after me in Leicester. This award is not for me, but for everyone who has played with me from tennis ball days to internationals, my family, and, of course, my fans and well-wishers. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey “Gavaskar took to social media following the naming of the stadium in his honor.
Gavaskar recently discussed the factors that could help Virat Kohli regain his best form. Since November of this year, the former Indian cricket captain has not scored a century. His recent form has also been poor.
“If I had about 20 minutes with him, I could tell him what he might have to do. It might help him; I’m not saying it will, but it might, especially with that off-stump line “Gavaskar stated to India Today.
“As an opening batter who has been troubled by that line, there are certain things you try to do.” I might be able to tell him if I have 20 minutes with him.
“It all comes back to the fact that his first mistake ends up being his last.” Again, just because he isn’t among the runs, there is a sense of urgency to play at every pitch because that is how batters feel: they have to score. You look for opportunities to play at deliveries that you would not have otherwise. However, on this tour, he has also made some good deliveries.”
