Top 3 players with stands named after them at Wankhede Stadium

Many Indian cricket legends have been honoured with stadium stands, pavilions, or gates named after their huge contribution to the team that has taken Indian cricket to the epitome of the level.

Speaking about the same subject, given below are the top three players with stands named at the iconic Wankhede Cricket Stadium in Mumbai. This stand name recognises their impact on the world of cricket and their roots in Mumbai, where their journey began.

Sunil Gavaskar

This stand in Mumbai honors the ‘Little Master’ and one of India’s greatest batters of all time, who paved the way for the upcoming generation of Indian batters. The former India skipper has been known as one of the best Test batters and guided the nation to some of the historic wins. This stand name celebrates his elegant batting style and historic knocks in this stadium.

Sachin Tendulkar

Tendulkar’s stand was a tribute to the ‘Master Blaster’ at his home ground, where this legendary batter played his last and final international game. This statue in Mumbai honours his unmatched contribution to the Indian cricket team, featuring his 100 international centuries. No other batters have ever come close to his figures. He is hailed as ‘God of the Cricket’ thanks to his batting masterclass for the nation. Notably, this is the symbolic tribute at the stadium where he made many memorable appearances.

Rohit Sharma

The two-time ICC Trophy winner has recently joined the list and gets the name of his hometown stadium, Wankhede Stadium, honoured by the MCA. Rohit has guided his IPL franchise to win the titles five times in this stadium, and he very well deserves such credit here. He played a huge role in making the Mumbai Indians one of the most successful. In addition, Rohit continued his success for the national team and guided Team India to lift the 2024 T20 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy before ending as a finalist in the 2023 WTC and ODI World Cup. He started his journey from Borivali and has now become a legend of this stadium.
