Aditya Tare
Though Mumbai skipper Aditya Tare is not part of the inaugural T20 Mumbai League due to a finger injury, the wicketkeeper-batsman made it count by making his debut as a commentator.
"It's good to do something related to cricket and commenting on the game is good work to do. It's my first attempt and I am enjoying it," said Tare. The Mumbai captain was also delighted to see the electric atmosphere at Wankhede Stadium. "The atmosphere here seems just like the IPL - players with coloured clothing, good response from the crowd and a good tournament to enjoy for everyone," he stressed.
Encouraging response
For those who get frustrated to see hardly 100 people turning up to watch a Ranji Trophy match at the Wankhede Stadium, the Churchgate venue provided a good sight yesterday.
