On Tuesday, the DDCA had announced that the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium will be renamed as Arun Jaitley Stadium in tribute to the former finance minister who passed away recently. The ground will continue to be known by its geographical location, the Feroz Shah Kotla, after the 14th-century monument which is situated next to it. The renaming will take place on September 12 when a stand is also set to be named after India skipper Virat Kohli.
