India's batting legend Sunil Gavaskar was delighted to inaugurate a board room at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) headquarters at the Wankhede Stadium recently. “I am very honoured to have a boardroom in my name at the BCCI office. When they approached me to inaugurate it, I immediately agreed. Anything for the BCCI,” said Gavaskar, who also has a box in his honour at the 50-year old iconic stadium, courtesy the Mumbai Cricket Association.

It is learnt that Gavaskar flanked by BCCI officials including president Roger Binny, his former India teammate, touched the office floor in respect immediately after doing the honours.
