The Divecha Pavilion Level 3 at Wankhede Stadium is now called the Rohit Sharma Stand, which was inaugurated in the presence of several dignitaries, such as Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and Sharad Pawar, on the stage along with the MCA officials.
Meanwhile, it was a heartwarming and proud moment for Rohit as the newly named stand at Wankhede Stadium was unveiled in his honor. However, the presence of his parents, wife Ritika Sajdeh, and brother made this special day even more memorable for the Hitman.
The evening turned emotional as Rohit addressed the crowd with a heartfelt speech. But the most touching moment came when the seasoned Indian opener called his parents on stage to press the ceremonial buzzer and officially unveil the stand named after him at the Wankhede Stadium.
