Saurashtra Cricket Stadium to Honor Niranjan Shah: Ahead of the third Test match, the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) stadium is set to undergo a name change in honor of Niranjan Shah, a respected administrator who will celebrate his birthday in June.
On February 14, the eve of the third Test match between India and England, the SCA Stadium will take on a new name: Niranjan Shah Stadium. This tribute recognizes the significant contributions of Niranjan Shah, a beloved figure in cricket administration.
This renaming ceremony brings mixed feelings to the SCA Stadium. While there is excitement surrounding the upcoming Test match, there is also a sense of celebration for Niranjan Shah's achievements. Additionally, there will be a special moment for Nidhi Barot and her young daughter Radhya.
Nidhi Barot, widow of Avi Barot, a former Saurashtra cricketer who tragically passed away in 2021, will be present at the ceremony. Avi Barot was a key player in Saurashtra's historic Ranji Trophy victory in 2020. Despite his untimely death, Avi's memory lives on through his contributions to the team.
Although the stadium lacks specific tributes to Avi Barot, Nidhi finds solace in the photographs displayed near the pavilion, showcasing her late husband and his teammates. Despite the absence of dedicated memorials, these images serve as a poignant reminder of Avi's legacy.
Reflecting on her husband's positivity and resilience, Nidhi shares her determination to instill these qualities in their daughter. Avi, known for his vibrant personality and unwavering optimism, continues to inspire others, even in his absence.
As the SCA Stadium prepares for its renaming ceremony, it not only honors Niranjan Shah's legacy but also pays tribute to the enduring spirit of Avi Barot, a cherished member of the cricketing community.
