New Delhi [India], Aug 27 (ANI): Delhi's famous Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium will be renamed as Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi & District Cricket Association announced on Tuesday.
Senior BJP leader, Arun Jaitley, who passed away on Saturday, was the former president of the DDCA.
"What can be better to have it named after man who got it rebuilt under his presidentship. It was Arun Jaitley's support that players like Virat Kohli, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Ashish Nehra, Rishabh Pant and many others could make India proud," Rajat Sharma, the incumbent president of DDCA, told ANI.
