India’s cricket team captain, Rohit Sharma, shared his feelings about a stand being named after him at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. He said it feels unreal, and he is truly thankful, as he never thought something like this would ever happen.
Rohit Sharma’s Emotional Reaction to Stand Named After Him at Wankhede
India captain Rohit Sharma will have a stand named after him at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. The Mumbai Cricket Association approved it along with stands for Sharad Pawar, Ajit Wadekar, and Amol Kale. Rohit’s stand will be the Divesh Pavilion 3, joining legends like Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, and others.
Rohit Sharma was honoured for his big contributions to both Mumbai and Indian cricket. As an opening batter, he has made a strong impact in domestic and international matches and is seen as a legend of Indian cricket.
Talking about the stand named after him at Wankhede Stadium, Rohit said he is very thankful and never expected such an honour. He also hinted at retirement, saying he’s not sure how much longer he’ll be playing.
“It’s an unreal feeling to have a stand on my name and I will forever be grateful. You never know how long you would play, but to get these honours is something I cannot (could never) imagine.”
Rohit Sharma Reflects on His Career and Hints at Retirement
Rohit Sharma has had great success both as a batter and as a captain. Recently, he led the Indian team to win the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, ending a long wait for a major trophy. But he didn’t stop there – he also led India to victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
What made both wins special was that India didn’t lose a single match and played strong, dominating cricket throughout the tournaments.
Right now, Rohit Sharma is playing for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025. However, he has been struggling, scoring only 82 runs in six matches with an average of 13.66. He’ll be looking to bounce back with better performances.
His next match will be against the Chennai Super Kings on April 20.
