Cricketers who have roads named after them

Notable Indian cricketers have stands, ends, and pavilions inside grounds named after them. A few of them also have roads and landmarks across India and abroad that honour these icons. The government looks to recognize their contribution to the game while representing the country at the highest stage in international cricket.

Several local and state governments have taken the initiative to honour the legends of Indian cricket by awarding them with roads, signages, and key highway milestones in their names. Today, CricTracker lists down five such cricketers who have roads named after them.

5. Ravichandran Ashwin:

The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) decided to rename Ramakrishnapuram 1st Street in West Mambalam after veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. The street is located in the locality where Ashwin resides. The proposal, submitted by Carrom Ball Event & Marketing Pvt. Ltd., was unanimously approved during GCC’s Budget 2025 council meeting, presided over by Mayor R. Priya. 

“Mr. Ashwin has represented India and Tamil Nadu in numerous matches, winning numerous awards and accolades. He is widely recognized as one of the world’s best all-rounders,” the Greater Chennai Corporation resolution read.
