Ravi Shastri to Have Stand Named After Him at Wankhede Stadium

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has decided to name a stand after former India captain and renowned commentator Ravi Shastri at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. The Level 1 Stand below the Press Box will be named in his honor, recognizing his outstanding contributions to Mumbai and Indian cricket as a player, leader, and coach. Additionally, three gates at the stadium will be named after Dilip Sardesai (Gate No. 3), Diana Edulji (Gate No. 5), and Eknath Solkar (Gate No. 6), celebrating their achievements and legacy. Ravi Shastri's an iconic figure in Indian cricket . He played 80 Tests and 150 ODIs for India, and as coach (2017-2021), led the team to notable milestones like India's first Test series win in Australia (2018-19) and reaching the ODI World Cup 2019 semis. "Dedicating gates at Wankhede Stadium to Dilip Sardesai, Eknath Solkar and Diana Edulji ensures that every fan who walks into the stadium is reminded of the legends who shaped our glorious cricketing heritage," Naik said. The MCA's honoring some true legends ! Dilip Sardesai, Eknath Solkar, and Diana Edulji are getting well-deserved recognition for their contributions to Indian cricket. Sardesai's heroics in the 1971 West Indies tour, Solkar's incredible fielding, and Edulji's pioneering work in women's cricket – they're all inspiring stories. Lovely tribute! MCA president Ajinkya Naik emphasized the importance of honoring cricket legends who've made significant contributions to Mumbai and Indian cricket. Ravi Shastri's getting a well-deserved recognition!
