The T20 Mumbai League, making its much-anticipated return after a six-year hiatus, has been rescheduled to June 4–10 due to a delay in the Indian Premier League (IPL), according to reports from The Times of India. Originally slated for May 26 to June 8 at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, the tournament's new dates accommodate the IPL's revised schedule, which now concludes on June 3.
To fit the condensed timeframe, organizers have planned daily double-header matches across two venues: the Wankhede Stadium and one among DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, the MCA ground in Bandra-Kurla Complex, or the Brabourne Stadium at the Cricket Club of India. This adjustment aims to ensure the successful completion of the league within the new schedule.
The T20 Mumbai League's revival is seen as a pivotal step in bolstering Mumbai's domestic cricket structure, providing a platform for emerging talent and seasoned players alike.

On May 16, 2025, Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma received a heartfelt tribute as the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) officially inaugurated the "Rohit Sharma Stand" at Wankhede Stadium. This honor places him among cricketing legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar, who also have stands named after them at the iconic venue.
The stand, located on Level 3 of the Divecha Pavilion, was unveiled in a ceremony that also honored former India captain Ajit Wadekar and ex-BCCI president Sharad Pawar with stands named after them. The MCA's decision, ratified during its 86th Annual General Meeting, recognizes the immense contributions of these individuals to Indian cricket.
Rohit Sharma, a native of Mumbai, has had a storied career at Wankhede Stadium, from his early days practicing at Azad Maidan to leading India to significant victories, including the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 and the Champions Trophy 2025.
The inauguration of the Rohit Sharma Stand not only celebrates his achievements but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring cricketers, symbolizing dedication, perseverance, and the realization of dreams.
