Team India captain Rohit Sharma has given many great moments to Indian cricket. For the last 18 years, Rohit has played an important role in increasing India’s reputation in world cricket. In this case, when Rohit is slowly moving towards the final phase of his career, he has received an honor that has received very few players not only in India but in world cricket. The Mumbai Cricket Association has dedicated a stand of historic Wankhede Stadium to Hitman. The Rohit Sharma stand was inaugurated at a special program at Wankhede Stadium on Friday, May 16th.
Rohit Sharma stand was inaugurated
The Rohit Sharma stand was inaugurated at a special program at Wankhede Stadium on Friday, May 16th. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) announced a few days ago that it wanted to honor India captain Rohit Sharma, India’s captain Rohit Sharma, who won the T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy.

Inauguration by parents
On Friday, at a special program at Wankhede Stadium, the MCA inaugurated a stand in the name of Rohit. Meanwhile, Rohit’s wife and parents were also present. Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, former MCA President Sharad Pawar, current MCA President Ajinkya Naik and many other officials and fans were also present. What is special is that Rohit did not press the button to remove the veil from the stand, but this auspicious task was completed by his parents.
Very special thing to see his name on the stand
Rohit described the honor as very special and said that he would have a completely different feeling for him when he plays on this field again. Team India’s ODI captain said, “I have retired from two formats but I am still playing a format. So it is very special to get this kind of honor while playing. Now on the 21st, when I play from Mumbai Capitals for Mumbai Indians, my name on the stand will be very special.”
