Mumbai Cricket Association Marks Wankhede Stadium's 50th Anniversary with Guinness World Record

The historic achievement involved arranging 14,505 cricket balls to form a commemorative sentence on the stadium's field.

The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) set a Guinness World Record for the largest cricket ball sentence, using 14,505 balls at Wankhede Stadium.
The sentence, 'Fifty Years of Wankhede Stadium,' commemorates the 50th anniversary of the stadium's first international match, played in 1975 between India and the West Indies.
The record was dedicated to the late Eknath Solkar, who scored a century in the stadium's inaugural Test match, and other late Mumbai cricketers who contributed significantly to the sport.
The cricket balls used in the record will be distributed to aspiring cricketers in schools, clubs, and NGOs across Mumbai to inspire future achievements.
The celebration also included a grand event on January 19 featuring cricket legends, performances, and tributes to players, groundsmen, and other contributors to Mumbai cricket's legacy.
