Our very own RO now has a stand immortalised in his name at our home, our fortress, our iconic Wankhede Stadium!! Moment hai bhai moment hai… ๐คฉ
From learning tod fod in the gullies of Borivali to having a stand named after him at เคเคชเคฒเคพ Wankhede – Rohit Sharma’s journey is nothing short of legendary!
…And goes without saying, it’s a well-deserved tribute to a generational cricketer who has etched his name in the hearts of millions. ๐
Today, in the presence of his family, Rohit Sharma unveiled the stand dedicated to him — and you could see what it meant to him.
"What is going to happen today, I have never dreamed of. As a kid growing up, I wanted to play for Mumbai, for India," he said, soaking it all in.
For the Mumbai Indians <read: his pasandida franchise ๐>, he’s been the heartbeat. Period. Under his leadership, the team clinched five IPL titles and his cool, composed presence has time and again anchored match-winning innings.
"To have my name amongst the greats of the game, I cannot express what the feeling is. For that, I am really really grateful," he added, as the crowd and his close ones watched on, beaming with pride.
Now, with a stand bearing his name at the very stadium where many of those memories were created, it feels like the perfect salute. For a lad who once dreamed big, this moment comes full circle.
"It will be a surreal feeling on the 21st when I come here and play representing the Mumbai Indians, and to have a stand, it will be a very, very special feeling.
"It will even get more special while representing the country."
