Wankhede Stadium, Cricket ground in Churchgate, Mumbai, India

Wankhede Stadium is an oval cricket ground in Churchgate, South Mumbai, with a rectangular brown pitch of local red soil at its centre, marked by white creases and three wooden stumps at each end. Tiered concrete stands with suspended cantilever roofs and a dark metal frame surround the field, and a tall floodlight tower rises above the stands. Capacity is 33,108.

Construction began in 1974 after disputes between the Cricket Club of India and the Mumbai Cricket Association over ticket allocation for matches at Brabourne Stadium. The completed ground was named after politician S. K. Wankhede, who held a leadership role in Indian cricket administration at the time.

The stadium is the home ground of the Mumbai Indians and houses the headquarters of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, the Mumbai Cricket Association and the Indian Premier League. It is named after S. K. Wankhede, a former BCCI president and Mumbai Cricket Association secretary. The ground hosted the last match of Sachin Tendulkar's international career.

Bucket seats fill every section, and multiple food courts serve refreshments during matches. Following renovations for the 2011 World Cup, restroom facilities and entry pathways were upgraded throughout the ground.

The playing surface contains local red soil that creates extra bounce and makes the ball behave differently than on other grounds. Proximity to the Arabian Sea affects how the ball moves through the air, especially during morning sessions when moisture drifts over the field.
