Mumbai witnessed a touching tribute as the Mumbai Cricket Association inaugurated the 'Rohit Sharma Stand' at Wankhede Stadium and was attended by Rohit's family, cricketing legends, and dignitaries. Nita Ambani, owner of Mumbai Indians, hailed Rohit as "one of Wankhede's favourite sons" and said, "it now bears not only your memories, but also your name-a permanent reminder of inspiration for all young cricketers. A true legend of our city and our nation.".
Rohit, visibly teary-eyed, expressed gratitude to his family, coaches, and fans, looking back upon his history from dreaming of playing for Mumbai to joining the league of legends with stands named after them.
