New Delhi: A month after the Gate No.2 was dedicated to former India opener Virender Sehwag, the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground in the national capital will have another couple of gates named after ex-Indian women’s team captain Anjum Chopra. The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has decided to name the Gate No. 3 and 4 of the stadium after the cricketer-turned-commentator, who represented the country in six World Cups. “In order to recognize, encourage and reward the contribution that women deserve in our country and in her sports, a woman cricketer has been chosen too and it has been decided to name a gate in the name of Arjuna award winner and Padamshri awardee, Anjum Chopra,” a DDCA statement read.
