Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai is a historic international venue in Churchgate. Home to Mumbai and Mumbai Indians, it has hosted Test, ODI, T20I and IPL cricket, including India’s 2011 World Cup final.
From pitch behaviour and historic milestones to match records and visitor access, explore the main Wankhede Stadium Mumbai details through this connected guide.
Wankhede is associated with red-soil pitches that can provide true bounce when fresh. Coastal air may help early movement, while wear can bring spin and variable bounce into play.
Mumbai’s cricket association built Wankhede after a dispute over Brabourne Stadium. A 2009–11 redevelopment added individual seating and modern spectator and media facilities.

The current Wankhede Stadium capacity is approximately 33,500 according to the Mumbai Cricket Association. Published figures vary, so this overview retains “approximately” rather than presenting one figure as permanently exact.
The redeveloped ground uses individual bucket seats instead of the earlier bench-led configuration.
A suspended roof covers much of the seating without placing columns directly in spectators’ sightlines.
MCA identifies stands named after Vijay Merchant, Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar; Polly Umrigar and Vinoo Mankad are commemorated in gate names.
MCA does not publish one permanent set of official dimensions. Boundary ropes can move with the pitch, format and event setup.
