US EditionMCA to honour Mumbai cricket stalwarts at Wankhede Stadium
The MCA honours cricket legends by naming Wankhede Stadium's Level 1 stand after Ravi Shastri and gates after Diana Edulji, Dilip Sardesai, and Eknath Solkar.
- On Friday, the Mumbai Cricket Association approved naming the Level 1 stand below the press box at Wankhede Stadium after Ravi Shastri during its Apex Council meeting.
- The MCA described the move as a tribute to Shastri's career, following last year's unveilings honouring Rohit Sharma, Ajit Wadekar and Sharad Pawar as part of continued heritage recognitions.
- Records underline the stature of those honoured: Shastri played 80 Tests, 150 ODIs, and coached India from 2017 to 2021, with series wins in Australia.
- Dedicating gates and stands will preserve memories for supporters, as naming gates after Dilip Sardesai, Eknath Solkar and Diana Edulji ensures fans remember those legends, MCA said.
- Amid a wider heritage push at Wankhede, the MCA named more sites; four stalwarts will be honoured while two entrances already bear Polly Umrigar and Vinoo Mankad, though some gate details remain incomplete.
