Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar were among the prominent figures celebrating Wankhede Stadium’s 50th anniversary on January 19, 2025. The event, attended by legends like Ajinkya Rahane, Ravi Shastri, and Shreyas Iyer, highlighted the stadium’s legacy in Indian cricket.
A humorous moment unfolded during the celebration when Sachin Tendulkar was asked about secretly eating vada pav in the dressing room. Responding cheekily, Tendulkar mentioned that he wasn’t the only one indulging in the popular Mumbai snack, hinting at others, including Rohit Sharma. The crowd erupted in laughter when the camera zoomed in on Rohit, who is often teased by fans for his love of vada pav, even earning the nickname “vada pav” on social media.
Rohit, currently under scrutiny for his recent poor form, also spoke about his cherished memories at Wankhede and vowed to lead India to success in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. The skipper will aim to replicate his triumph from the 2024 T20 World Cup, which India won under his leadership.
Rohit is also set to return to domestic cricket after a decade and hopes to silence critics with strong performances. Despite challenges, both legends brought humor and nostalgia to the celebration, marking a memorable milestone for Indian cricket.
