Mumbai Cricket Association commemorates 50 years of Wankhede Stadium with a Guinness World Record

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) set a new Guinness World Record for the 'Largest Cricket Ball Sentence,' using 14,505 balls to form the phrase "Fifty Years of Wankhede Stadium."

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) on Thursday achieved a monumental milestone by securing the Guinness World Records title for the 'Largest Cricket Ball Sentence.'
This accomplishment was part of the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The record was set on the anniversary of the first-ever international match held at the stadium in 1975, when India faced the West Indies in a memorable Test match from January 23 to 29.
<img src="https://cdn.editorji.com/6792270190d05_1737631489.jpg" width="581" height="306">
MCA dedicated this extraordinary feat to the late Eknath Solkar, who scored a century in that historic match, and to other departed Mumbai players who made significant contributions to the sport.
The MCA, known for its unwavering commitment to excellence, arranged 14,505 leather cricket balls on the Wankhede Stadium field to create the sentence: "Fifty Years of Wankhede Stadium."
The record-breaking arrangement was achieved in the presence of MCA President Ajinkya Naik, alongside office-bearers and Apex Council Members. The breakdown of the balls used for each word is as follows:
<ul>
<li>FIFTY: 1,902 balls</li>
<li>YEARS: 2,831 balls</li>
<li>OF: 1,066 balls</li>
<li>WANKHEDE: 4,990 balls</li>
<li>STADIUM: 3,672 balls</li>
<li>FULL STOP (.): 44 balls</li>
<li>Total: 14,505 balls</li>
</ul>
The MCA will donate the balls used in this record to aspiring cricketers from schools, clubs, and NGOs across the city, encouraging them to be inspired by this achievement and aim for even greater milestones in their cricketing careers.
"Mumbai cricket has contributed significantly to the sport and it holds a special place in cricket's history. The city has produced some of the greatest cricketers the world has ever seen. Wankhede Stadium is the pride of Mumbai and has witnessed countless historic moments. This Guinness World Records title is a reflection of Mumbai cricket's passion, legacy, and relentless pursuit of excellence. It is also a special tribute to all the players, officials, and unsung heroes who have contributed to Mumbai's cricketing legacy," said Ajinkya Naik, President of the Mumbai Cricket Association.
In addition to this achievement, the MCA had hosted a series of events earlier to commemorate the stadium's golden jubilee. These included honoring the captains of Mumbai&rsquo;s men's and women&rsquo;s teams, the members of the Mumbai team that played the first-ever first-class match at Wankhede Stadium in 1974, and former Elected Managing Committee members.
The Sports Journalists Association of Mumbai and the association&rsquo;s groundsmen were also felicitated, with a special Polly Umrigar Health Camp and lunch organized for them in recognition of their invaluable contributions.
The grand celebrations on January 19 were attended by cricket legends such as Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri, Diana Edulji, Rohit Sharma, and Ajinkya Rahane, in front of a packed stadium.
The evening also featured mesmerizing performances by Ajay-Atul and Avadhoot Gupte, followed by a stunning laser show that capped off the event.

'We will try to bring Champions Trophy back to Wankhede': Rohit Sharma

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma expresses confidence in winning the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy during Wankhede Stadium's 50th-anniversary celebration. He recalls cherished moments at the iconic venue and highlights its special atmosphere.

Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma has set his sights on leading the Men in Blue to victory at the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. Speaking at a celebratory event marking 50 years of Mumbai's iconic Wankhede Stadium, Rohit also reflected on the memorable moments and personal milestones he has experienced at the historic venue.
Discussing the ICC Champions Trophy, Rohit stated, "We will try our best (to win the title). It is always a dream to represent the Indian team in any ICC trophy. We will embark on another dream. I am sure that when we will reach Dubai, 140 crore people will be behind us. We will try to do everything we can to bring the trophy back again at Wankhede."
The Wankhede Stadium has been home to many significant achievements in Indian cricket history, including the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup victory, Virat Kohli's 50th ODI century during the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup semifinals, and other landmark events like the 1996 day-night World Cup match and Mumbai's 2007 Ranji Trophy title.
Rohit fondly reminisced about his early days watching Ranji Trophy matches at Wankhede and highlighted the unique energy the venue brings. "The crowd does not disappoint here, no matter which team you play, India, Mumbai, or Mumbai Indians (MI). When we won the 2007 T20 World Cup and celebrated it here, that day I dreamt of bringing the World Cup trophy to Wankhede. Luckily, we celebrated the 2024 T20 WC victory in Mumbai and Wankhede. The atmosphere here is different. Even the players who are not from Mumbai really love coming here and playing," he said.
Reflecting on the grand celebration of India&rsquo;s 2024 T20 World Cup win at Wankhede, Rohit shared how special it was to celebrate with fans. "When we were in Barbados, we could not go out due to a hurricane. We could celebrate as a team, but celebrating the win with your people is special. There were so many people watching us, celebrating with us," he added.
The ICC Champions Trophy, set to take place from February 19 to March 9, will be co-hosted by Pakistan and the UAE under a hybrid model, with India's matches scheduled in Dubai. The eight-team tournament will feature 15 matches, with India&rsquo;s campaign starting against Bangladesh on February 20. The much-anticipated clash with Pakistan will take place on February 23, also in Dubai. India&rsquo;s final group-stage match will be against New Zealand on March 2.
India is placed in Group A alongside defending champions Pakistan, New Zealand, and Bangladesh. Group B features 2023 Cricket World Cup winners Australia, Afghanistan, England, and South Africa.
Team India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Ravindra Jadeja.

As Chennai Super Kings lost wickets in a heap at the start of play vs Mumbai Indians on Thursday night in the IPL, fans and cricket pundits couldn't help but notice the unavailability of the Decision Review System. 
A major power failure resulted that one of the floodlight towers being switched off which meant that the toss got delayed. Little did anyone know that the power failure also impacted the DRS machinery in the stadium. The review system wasn't available till 1.4 overs of the CSK innings as confirmed by the commentators and that impacted the team batting first. 
Chennai first lost their opener, Devon Conway, on the 2nd ball of the innings to a delivery which looked to be missing the stumps but the umpire adjudged it Leg-before. Conway was stunned when he was informed that the DRS wasn't available which could have possibly overturned the decision. 
CSK's head coach Stephen Fleming raised questions about the unavailability which possibly cost their team a good start and a chance to put up a good fight against Mumbai Indians. Fleming said, "It was a little bit unlucky that happened at that time. Yeah, we were a bit disappointed, but that's still part of the game, isn't it? But, yeah, sort of set off a chain of events that were, not in our favour. But, we should be better than that. Certainly wasn't a great start."
