On May 21, 2025, during the IPL 2025 match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals at Wankhede Stadium, fans paid a heartfelt tribute to Rohit Sharma, affectionately known as 'Mumbai cha Raja'. In honor of his recent retirement from Test cricket, supporters donned white jerseys and masks emblazoned with 'Mumbai cha Raja' to celebrate his illustrious red-ball career.
This tribute follows the Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) recent decision to name a stand at Wankhede Stadium after Sharma. The 'Rohit Sharma Stand' was inaugurated on May 16, 2025, with his parents leading the ceremony, marking an emotional milestone in his career.
The 'Mumbai cha Raja' chant, a popular slogan among MI fans, was prominently featured during the match, showcasing the deep connection between Sharma and the city's cricketing community.
This tribute not only honors Sharma's contributions to Indian cricket but also underscores the enduring bond between the player and his fans at Wankhede Stadium.
