The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) isn't known to keep players on top of their priority list. Yesterday, for a change, was different when the Gate No. 2 at the Ferozeshah Kotla stadium in the Capital was named after former India opener Virender Sehwag. Though, again the association's good intentions became a laughing stock after an honour board which had Sehwag's international record placed on the gate mentioned him as the 'only Indian to score a triple century in Test cricket'. Whoever approved it forgot about Karun Nair. The Karnataka batsman, earlier this year, scored a Test triple ton against England and became the second Indian to do so. Nair, ironically till the last IPL was also part of the Delhi Daredevils squad.
