There’s been some chatter among the captains and coaches of various teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) about the folks who take care of the pitches at home games.

Rohit Sharma is set to have a stand named after him at the famous Wankhede Stadium, and he’s really excited about it. The captain of India’s Test and ODI teams calls this a “huge honor.” It’s pretty cool to think back to when he was just a kid who couldn’t even get into the stadium.
