Bengaluru, Feb. 13 -- In a landmark celebration of 50 years of M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) on Friday announced the renaming of key sections of the iconic venue to honour cricketing legends.
The Pavilion End will now be known as the Anil Kumble End, while the Northern End will be named the Rahul Dravid End.
A stand will be dedicated to pioneering woman cricketer Shantha Rangaswamy, where she smashed her first six, while member stands M3 and M4 will honour the late administrators C Nagaraj and Captain Dr Thimmappaiah for their invaluable contributions to Karnataka and Indian cricket.
