However, a clarification was tweeted out from DDCA, that ground will continue to be called as the Feroz Shah Kotla.

“A clarification from the DDCA president: The stadium has been named as Arun Jaitley Stadium. The ground will continue to be called the Feroz Shah Kotla.” DDCA tweeted.

The renaming of the stadium will be done on September 12 at a function in presence of Home Minister Amit Shah and Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju. At the function, a stand will be also named after Indian Skipper Virat Kohli as announced by DDCA on August 18

“The renaming of the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium will take place on September 12 at a function where a stand at the Kotla will be named after India captain Virat Kohli” DDCA wrote.

Speaking about the renaming DDCA President Rajat Sharma said, “It was Arun Jaitley’s support and encouragement that players like Virat Kohli, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Ashish Nehra, Rishabh Pant and many others could make India proud.”

Gautam Gambhir has also welcomed the decision of DDCA to rename the Stadium after Arun Jaitely, he has also proposed to rename Yamuna Sports Complex to Arun Jaitely Sports Complex.

“I am very happy because he deserves this. He gave Delhi a world-class stadium with world-class facilities. It is a good thing but it would have been much better if it was renamed when he was alive. It would have been a perfect gift for him,” Gambhir told ANI.

“In my constituency, it is the biggest sports complex, Yamuna sports complex. I think it will be a perfect gift for him from me if Yamuna sports complex is renamed as Arun Jaitley sports complex. I have proposed it in the committee and if it gets clear, everyone will be happy especially the East Delhi constituency,” he also added.
