Wankhede Stadium holds a special place in Indian cricket history, as it was the site where the Men in Blue clinched their second ODI World Cup title by defeating Sri Lanka in the final on April 2, 2011. The stadium has also been a witness to India’s first-ever Test series whitewash and Virat Kohli’s monumental 50th ODI century.

As part of the 50th-anniversary celebration, India captain Rohit Sharma posed with the ICC Champions Trophy, which was showcased at the venue ahead of the upcoming mega event starting on February 19.

“Our aim is to bring the Champions Trophy back to Wankhede”- Rohit Sharma

“We will embark on another tournament. I am sure when we reach Dubai, the wishes of 140 crore people will be behind us, we know that,” Rohit said, evoking cheers from the crowd at the Wankhede Stadium.

“We will try and do everything we can to bring this trophy back here to the Wankhede,” he added.

India has been placed in Group A of the Champions Trophy alongside Pakistan, Bangladesh, and New Zealand. Their campaign kicks off on February 20 against Bangladesh in Dubai, followed by a highly anticipated clash with Pakistan on February 23.
