New Delhi: Delhi has a penchant for producing mentally hardened players and former India opener Virender Sehwag on Tuesday attributed this to a tough club level one-day cricket, played day in and out, through a long summer.
The Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) named Gate 2 of the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi as the 'Virender Sehwag Gate'. Asked what sets apart Delhi cricket, Sehwag said, "In Delhi a lot of one-day cricket is played in clubs. And by the time these players come to Ranji Trophy they become very tough mentally and they don't find it difficult to get used to the grind."
The 39-year-old Sehwag said he is honoured to have the stadium gate named after him. "It is a great honour and today we have a gate named after a cricketer but later we can have dressing room, stands, restaurants and dressing rooms and other things named after cricketers. It's a good thing and positive move from DDCA.
