Wankhede Stadium stand to be named after Indian captain Rohit Sharma, major report reveals

The performance of Indian team captain and veteran opener Rohit Sharma has always been very good in international cricket and he has put pressure on the bowlers of the opposing team. Rohit Sharma has won his team by batting brilliantly in many important matches. At present, IPL 2025 is being played and a big report about Rohit Sharma is coming out in the middle of this tournament.

Rohit Sharma is playing for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. The homeground of the Mumbai Indians team has been the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Such reports are coming out that the stand of Rohit Sharma’s name can be kept at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Let me tell you that Mumbai Indians is one of the most successful franchises of IPL. Mumbai Indians have won the trophy of this magnificent tournament five times under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Apart from the Mumbai franchise, this feat has been achieved by Chennai Super Kings. The Mumbai Cricket Association wants to honor him only in view of his achievements. April 15 is a meeting of Mumbai’s Apex Council. During this time, the name of the stand in the name of Rohit Sharma will be discussed at the Wankhede Stadium.

According to the report, the Mumbai Cricket Association has received a request from its eight club members for this. It includes many veterans including former president Sharad Pawar and Vilasrao Deshmukh, former Indian captain Ajit Wadekar. MCA President Ajinkya Naik said that “the suggestions have come from the members and the final decision will be taken by the General Body Members of the Mumbai Cricket Association.”

Will there be a stand in the name of Rohit Sharma at Wankhede Stadium?

Whose name will be recorded at the stand of Wankhede Stadium can be decided on 15 April. On this day MCA’s AGM is going to be. Please tell that the name of East Stand of Wankhede Stadium is recorded in the name of Sunil Gavaskar. West stand is named after Vijay Merchant. The North stand is named after Dilip Vengsarkar and Sachin Tendulkar. The media gallery of Wankhede Stadium is named after Bal Thackeray. In 2022, the MCA had decided that the statue of Sachin Tendulkar would be installed inside the stadium. It remains to be seen whether Rohit Sharma gets this honor or not.

In IPL 2025, Rohit Sharma has so far failed to leave his mark. He has failed to make a big score from Mumbai Indians and that is why the performance of the team has also been very poor this season. Mumbai Indians have won just one in 5 matches in IPL 2025 while they have lost four matches.
