Who can forget MS Dhoni's massive winning shot in the 2011 Cricket World Cup final at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium?
Team India brought home the Cup after a long wait of 28 years and Dhoni's six got etched in the memory of Indian cricket fans. The spot where the ball rested when Dhoni struck six off Sri Lankan bowler Nuwan Kulasekara has been given a special touch for fans.
Mumbai Cricket Association's (MCA) official X handle shared a picture of the memorial named 'World Cup 2011 Victory Memorial Stand'.
“The two seats where MS Dhoni’s 2011 ODI World Cup winning six landed at the Wankhede Stadium will forever be symbolic to every cricket fan,” wrote the MCA while sharing a picture on X.
Seat numbers J282-286, are now adorned with two replicas of the the World cup trophies. Icing on the cake - it even has pictures of Team India posing with the 2011 World Cup trophies.
Shared on October 20, the picture has since then generated more than 16,000 views and a barrage of likes.
Last month, MCA had announced that it would auction these seats and will use the same funds to sponsor budding players.
While sharing a picture of MSD, the association wrote, “Dhoni finishes off in style. To eternalise the glory of this moment, the two seats where the ball landed at the Wankhede Stadium after MS Dhoni struck the ICC World Cup 2011 winning six will be auctioned by the MCA. The funds collected from this auction will be utilised to provide scholarships to emerging players.”
