Summary: In a heartwarming gesture at Wankhede, Rohit Sharma asks Ravi Shastri to move from the corner seat to the center.

To celebrate Wankhede Stadium's 50th anniversary, many Indian cricketers gathered at the event held in the stadium on Sunday. Mumbai's cricketing legends, both past and present, recounted their treasured recollections of playing at the historic ground during a unique portion of the event.

Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, Ravi Shastri, Rohit Sharma, and Ajinkya Rahane were among the prominent figures called to the platform.

Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, who is frequently praised for his skill and humility, showed another one of his generous moments. Fans and cricket legends alike praised Rohit for his touching gesture towards former India head coach Ravi Shastri during the 50th-anniversary celebration of Mumbai's famous Wankhede Stadium.

Always considerate of humility and friendship, Rohit encouraged Shastri to sit in the middle, beside Gavaskar and Tendulkar, so the senior cricketer would get the credit he deserved.

On March 2, they will play New Zealand in their last league-stage match. The semi-finals, final, and all of India's matches are slated to happen in Dubai.
