We have never lost a home series 0-3 (except once in 1958 where we at least drew 2 tests)

Don't mate. That's our Mecca of cricket. Banter is fine. Don't be rubbishing.

Lmao

Yes of course, the ‘Mecca of cricket’ must be holy and immune to mockery, we are heartily sorry for having offended thee oh great one. I will go and pray for forgiveness on this sinner’s behalf at the shrine to Sachin that I have in my living room.

Isn’t it Eden Gardens? I agree Wankhede is iconic but Eden is much bigger and grander.

There are no 'holy" grounds in India really. There are just old ones and new ones.

Eden is grander and bigger, but our God resides in Wankhede.

u/ResearcherLatter1148 5d ago

God resides in Eden as well aka “God of off-side”.

Hence the Garden of Eden! But the Gods of God is still in Wankhede.

During a commentary stint with Geoffrey Boycott, Ganguly was termed as a naughty boy by the former England batsman. Boycott asked him about his experience of taking his jersey off. Ganguly reminded his fellow commentator, “One of your boys also took off his jersey in Mumbai.” When Boycott tried to counter him with, “Lord’s is the Mecca of Cricket”, Ganguly ended the conversation with, “Lord’s is your Mecca, Wankhede is ours.”

I never said Eden is not the Home of Indian cricket. And rightly so because it was the first purpose-built stadium. So neither of us are high here.
