The Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble Ends at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium were on Sunday officially unveiled at a ceremony attended by the stalwarts\u2019 family members.<\/p>\n

The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) president and long-time teammate of the two legends, Venkatesh Prasad and vice-president Sujith Somasundar oversaw the official unveiling along with other association officials.<\/p>\n

The KSCA had announced on February 14 that Dravid, owner of 24,177 international runs, Kumble, who has 956 international wickets, and former India woman cricketer Shantha Rangaswamy will have ends\/stands named after them at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.<\/p>\n

The old BEML end at far corner was renamed after Dravid while the pavilion end was rechristened after Kumble.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a second home to me. It\u2019s been a place where we\u2019ve probably spent more time than we have in our houses. But it\u2019s also a place that has truly given me everything I have today. I can never be grateful enough for what the KSCA and this great, iconic ground have given me in my life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m truly thankful that Venkatesh Prasad and his committee have decided to name an end after me. It means a lot. I know this would mean a lot to my family as well,\u201d Dravid had said.<\/p>\n

His mother Pushpa Dravid and brother Vijay were witness to the grand occasion. Kumble\u2019s family too was in attendance through wife Chetana, son Mayas and daughters Aaruni and Swasthi.<\/p>\n
