A prominent voice in Mumbai cricket is calling for a major oversight to be corrected. Former Mumbai captain Shishir Hattangadi has penned a letter to the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), expressing his astonishment at the absence of Ravi Shastri’s name from the list of cricketing greats commemorated at the iconic Wankhede Stadium.
Hattangadi’s letter highlights Shastri’s immense contribution to Indian cricket, not just as a player, but also as a highly respected coach and insightful commentator. He argues that Shastri’s legacy transcends mere statistics, encompassing a profound influence on the game and its culture that deserves recognition at the hallowed grounds of Wankhede.
The omission of such a significant figure has sparked debate, prompting questions about the selection criteria used for honoring individuals at the stadium. Hattangadi’s plea underscores the importance of acknowledging the multifaceted contributions of legends like Shastri, whose impact extends far beyond the boundaries of the cricket field itself.
