After Dharamshala now Dehradun stadium

[putrevus]

What is this fascination to name everything Rajiv Gandhi.

[LordPrabhzy]

What is this stupid obsession with naming everything with a Gandhi name. The sooner this family disappear the better!

[Vilander]

lol...every poster feels the name is not appropriate.

 

Why so many Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru stadiums across India ?? why ?

[TheWall]

Beautiful stadium.

But they need to name the stadium after some sportsperson... not politicians...

[Vilander]

Hey great news.

 

Looks like this stadium will host BD vs Afganistan.

[Cricketics]

Why after Gandhi?

 

They could have kept the name after Dhoni actually who has roots from Uttarakhand, and can make one stand after Ekta Bhisht who is the first women cricketer from there.

 

Screw these names of sporting arenas after politicians.

 

I won’t mind a a cricket stadium as Bhagat Singh stadium though.

wont be a great idea at all in the scorching heat. This stadium is not in hills unlike Dharmshala. Stadium is in foot hills and day temperatures will be in high 30s to low 40s in June.

For a change and this may come as a surprise,I might agree on this.

 

I guess it is a case of anyone over Rajiv Gandhi  jokes apart same thing with Hyderabad as well...maybe after VVS Laxman instead of Rajiv Gandhi or even Jaisimha or Pataudi

BTW no IPL game for this stadium in horizon.

 

Hell even Dharamshala wont get a game this year, per released schedule.

Dharmshala is the best place for cricket in April-May with pleasant weather at 1500 meter of altitude.

yes. Nov is fine, Dec is okay too but mornings and nights will be chilly with temp in single digits though will be better than Dharmshala, which is at higher altitude. Dehradun stadium isn't more than 500 meter altitude.
