Wankhede Stadium

This guide to Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai opens with Sachin Tendulkar being carried on his teammates' shoulders around the field, then rewinds to the slight that made the stadium exist at all. In the early 1970s, Mumbai's cricket association had no ground of its own and relied on a rival club's stadium down the road, with disputes over ticket allocation simmering for years. When official S.K. Wankhede pushed for a fairer share, the rival club's president dismissed him with a line he refused to accept. Stand at the edge of the field and picture the crowd on that April day in 2011.
