The Wankhede stadium is one of the major cricket grounds in the city of Mumbai.
The stadium staged its first Test in the 1974-75 season when the West Indies toured India and since then, it has taken over from Brabourne as the main cricketing venue in the city. In 1995 Wankhade stadium underwent an upgradation drive and floodlights were installed to host day and night games.
By virtue of its proximity to the sea, the Wankhede generally offers assistance to swing bowlers during the early part of each day. But by day five, the stadium might become a vicious turner, making a fourth innings run-chase extremely difficult.
