Rohit Sharma Stand At Wankhede Stadium? Report Says "Final Decision On..."

India captain Rohit Sharma could get a stand named after him at the Wankhede Stadium, according to a report. Among active international cricketers, only Virat Kohli has a stand named after him. In 2019, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) named a stand at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in honour of Kohli. According to a report in the Indian Express, the MCA have received various requests from its board members to name "stands and walking bridges around the Wankhede stadium after renowned personalities."

Rohit's name will be discussed, but faces competition from other Mumbai greats, during MCA's Apex Council meeting on April 15.

"The MCA has received requests and proposals from its club members to name stands or assorted places outside the stadium on its past presidents, Sharad Pawar, late Vilasrao Deshmukh, as well as late India captain Ajit Wadekar, late Eknath Solkar, late Dilip Sardesai, late Padmakar Shivalkar, former India captain Diana Edulji and current India captain Rohit Sharma," the report stated.

"There have been suggestions from members and the final decision will be taken by the general body members of the Mumbai Cricket Association," MCA president Ajinkya Naik told The Indian Express.

Rohit led India to two ICC titles (T20 World Cup in 2024 and Champions Trophy in 2025) in the last nine monts, a feat no Mumbai player has achieved as Indian captain.

As per the Indian Express, "the MCA currently has one unattributed Grand Stand available above its president's box which they can name inside the stadium. The East Stand is named on one of India's finest openers Sunil Gavaskar, which is a common man's stand. West Stand is in the name of Vijay Merchant, North has been named after Dilip Vengsarkar and
