Team India captain and Mumbai Indians star Rohit Sharma revealed that he has urged his parents to watch from the stand named after him whenever it comes into being at the Wankhede Stadium. The right-handed batter made the revelation during a chat with Vimal Kumar on his birthday.
With Rohit becoming one of the most successful captains of the modern era, the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) recently announced that a stand will be named after the veteran cricketer at the Wankhede Stadium. The Divecha Pavilion Level 3 will be renamed as the 'Rohit Sharma Stand'.
Speaking to Vimal Kumar in a video uploaded on YouTube, the 38-year-old stated:
"Mere mom, dad zyaada bahar aana pasand nahin karte, unko ghar pe match dekhna zyaada pasand hai. Par maine unko bola hai, jab mera stand banega, aapko vahan aana hai aur usi stand pe baithke match dekhna hai."
(My mother and father don't prefer to come to the ground often and like watching the match from home. But I have told them when the stand gets named after me, you have to come there and watch the match from there.)
Rohit Sharma finds form after poor start to IPL 2025
Meanwhile, Rohit had managed a high score of 26 in the first six matches of IPL 2025. However, he rediscovered his mojo against the Mumbai Indians by cracking 76 and followed it up by hammering 70 against the SunRisers Hyderabad.
Mumbai Indians had also started their campaign with consecutive defeats but are now on a five-match winning streak as they gear up to face the Rajasthan Royals.
