Prithvi Shaw’s recent visit to Wankhede Stadium has unveiled a wave of nostalgia as the young opener reminisced about his first encounter with the iconic stadium. The occasion marked the 50th anniversary celebration of the stadium, where Shaw was present along with other former captains of the Mumbai cricket team. The forthcoming event on January 19th at the stadium promises to be an extravagant affair as the current Mumbai cricketers are expected to attend.
Prithvi Shaw’s Unforgettable Experience
The talented batsman recollected his maiden visit to the Wankhede Stadium in 2011 to watch the World Cup final match between India and Sri Lanka. As fate would have it, Shaw was accompanied by none other than Arjun Tendulkar, the son of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar, who was an integral part of India’s playing eleven during the World Cup 2011 final. At just 11 years old, the excitement of witnessing the historic match left an indelible mark on Shaw’s mind.
A Dream Come True
Shaw, who was seated alongside Arjun during the match, vividly remembers the euphoric moment when Team India lifted the trophy. This victory not only created an unforgettable experience for Shaw but also fueled his desire to take to the field at Wankhede Stadium someday. Today, as the stadium marks its 50th anniversary, Shaw’s dream has become a reality. In a heartfelt plea, the young cricketer requested the people of Mumbai to attend the upcoming program on January 19th, promising to make the occasion a memorable one.
