Rohit Sharma Reflects On Memories At Wankhede Stadium's 50-Year Anniversary
The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma shares a heartfelt message on his home ground, Wankhede Stadium, completing 50 years of its anniversary on January 19. Rohit went through a rough form in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. He has an incredible record at the Wankhede Stadium and is India's highest run-scorer in T20Is, smashing 2295 runs in the IPL at an average of 34.25. He has also scored his second Test hundred in his second game in 2013.
Rohit expressed nostalgia recalling his journey from the start of his career to creating many countless memories with the team and Mumbai Indians. He said,
"Hello everyone. On the 19th of January this month, Wankhede will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. It's a very, very proud moment for all the Mumbaikars, especially those who have been involved in Mumbai cricket for so many years. Personally for me, I have a very, very special connection with this ground. So many memories. I started playing my age group cricket at this very venue. And since then, till now, it's been a wonderful journey."
Further, he spoke about Wankhede's evolution over the years, cherishing all the beautiful moments he created here and wishing success for the coming years to his favorite ground.
"So to see Wankhede growing over the years. When I played for the first time, the old stadium had its own charm. And now, you know, this venue right now has special memories involved with Indian cricket, the Mumbai Indians, and age group cricket of the Mumbai Cricket Association. So I just want to wish everyone the best for the coming years as well. And hopefully, we can create more and more memories at this very venue. Thank you."
Recently, he has been at the Wankhede Stadium practicing with the city's Ranji Trophy team, which is raising his chance of making a possible comeback in domestic cricket after many years.
