Three of the state’s biggest legends — former Indian off-spinner and umpire Venkataraghavan, former captain and chairman of selectors Srikkanth and former all-rounder Ashwin — could soon have stands named after them at the famous Chepauk ground. Amid this, Virat Kohli leaves himself out and picks 7 legends to build his ultimate ODI batter.
The plan is likely to see the three stands named after these legends at the historic MA Chidambaram Stadium, with all three Venkataraghavan, Srikkanth and Ashwin to attend the opening. If the plan gets official approval, it will be a huge tribute to three different generations of Tamil Nadu cricket.
In all likelihood by the Big Bash three stands at the MA Chidambaram Stadium will have stands named after S Venkataraghavan, K Srikkanth and R Ashwin. Plan is to open with all three cricketers together.
