Panaji, Sep 30 (PTI) Back from the Asia Cup victory, India captain Suryakumar Yadav was the cynosure of all eyes in Goa on Tuesday as he participated in the inauguration of a private cricket stadium in South Goa district.

Thousands of cricket fans thronged the `1919 Sportz Cricket Stadium' at Verna village.

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant and transport minister Mauvin Godinho were amongst those present at the inauguration. Later, Sawant was seen bowling a tennis ball to Yadav, who hit it above the crowd.

Addressing the crowd, the chief minister invited the Indian captain to play a match in Goa.

Goa has only one international-standard stadium at Fatorda which is used for both cricket as well as football, but this private stadium is exclusively for cricket, noted the chief minister.
