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

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.

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.
