DDCA joint secretary Rajan Manchanda on Wednesday (August 19) confirmed that the state body has got numerous requests to honor the late Chauhan for his contribution to Delhi cricket and association by naming a pavilion after him in his memory and they will discuss the same at the DDCA’s next meeting.
A Delhi stalwart Chauhan, who played 40 Test matches for India, surrender to COVID-19 related complications as he breathed his last on Sunday (August 16). Apart from national duty, he also served in various capacities at the DDCA from being a vice president and a chief selector.
Manchanda told PTI: “I have got numerous requests from our members that DDCA should do something in honor of Chetan ji’s memory. Most members want a stand to be named after him. I would take up the matter in the next apex council meeting.”

Noteworthy, the DDCA already has two gates in the name of Virender Sehwag and Anjum Chopra wherein four stands are in the name of MAK Pataudi, Mohinder Amarnath, Bishan Singh Bedi and Gautam Gambhir with pavilion named after current India captain Virat Kohli.
Well, now it will be interesting to see if DDCA can find space to give honor to another legend.
