Karnataka CM Wish State Cricket Association to Rename Stands at Chinnaswamy Stadium After Local Stalwarts

Karnataka state chief minister Siddaramaiah has urged the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) to name the stands at M Chinnaswamy stadium after three “great cricketers of the state”.

In a letter to State Cricket Association President Raghuram Bhat A on Monday, CM Siddaramaiah said: “I request you to consider naming the stands after G.R. Vishwanath, E.A.S. Prasanna and B.S. Chandrasekhar, which will inspire and encourage the upcoming cricketers of the state.”

Acknowledging the receipt of the letter, Bhat said there are few formalities to make changes and said he would take a call after the IPL matches finish.

Trio starred in India’s first win in England & West Indies, says Guha. The trio were part of the Karnataka team which won the Ranji Trophy in 1973-74 and celebrated its golden jubilee recently.

The CM further said that in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and other places, the main cricket stadiums have stands named after the great players from the city or state and yet there are no stands in Bengaluru named after G.R Vishwanath, E.A.S. Prasanna and B.S. Chandrasekhar.

The suggestion by the CM came after noted historian and writer Ramachandra Guha in a letter on March 29 urged the CM to ask the KSCA to name stands at Chinnaswamy stadium after the three “great cricketers and human beings, who have nobly upheld the spirit of the game on and off the field.”
