Accessible from both the Haji Ali sea-face and Keshavrao Khadye Marg, this world-class turf club and racecourse was built under the enthusiastic direction of Major E Hughes in 1880. The Mahalaxmi racecourse is open throughout the year for the general public and most visitors come for a jog around the 2.2km inner circuit, only to regain the lost calories at Gallops. Dogs are permitted too, but may not be allowed around certain areas and the well manicured garden and play area is ideal for families and the elderly. An inner field hosts Polo matches, and the bleachers, though not that many, still prove comfy. Mumbai's horse-racing season runs from November to April and the big races are major social affairs. The annual Indian Derby falls on the first Sunday of every February. Apart from enclosures for the members and the general public, there's also a Punter's Ring. Seems like the Mahalaxmi Racecourse has an answer for everything! +91 22 2307 1401 www.rwitc.com/ [email protected] Off Keshavrao Khadye Marg, Jacob Circle, Mumbai Wankhede Stadium "The Venue of Great Cricket" The Wankhede Stadium at Churchgate needs no introduction, at least not for fans of Cricket. Owned by the Mumbai Cricket Association, the Wankhede Stadium was built in 1975 and has since been the prime venue for matches. Boasting an "official" seating capacity of 45,000, the crowds pack the Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Vijay Merchant stands, by Ashwin John bleachers named after stalwarts of Indian cricket. A match at the Wankhede Stadium shouldn't be missed, purely for the atmosphere if not anything else. The stadium lacks a concession stand, so it's best to tuck in at Pizzeria, Croissants, Samrat, Gaylords or 210°C, fast food eateries located just around the corner. On second thoughts, you might as well use their washroom facilities too. +91 22 2414 3200 (Tourist Information) Marine Drive, Mumbai Mahindra Hockey Stadium "Hockey Cheers" Initially named as the Bombay Hockey Association Stadium, the Mahindra Hockey Stadium has been a popular venue for sporting events in Mumbai. This stadium is home to the popular hockey teams, namely Mumbai Marines and Mumbai Magicians. The stadium is known for having hosted the Men's Hockey World Cup in 1982. This rectangular stadium is well- by Bence Balla-Schottner on designed with inclined seating and can accommodate more than 8200 Unsplash on Unsplash spectators. +91 22 2281 1271 [email protected] D-Road, Mumbai Brabourne Stadium "Mecca of Cricket" India, a place where cricket is like a religion and cricketers are given demigod status, the Brabourne Stadium has a special place in the hearts of the avid cricket fans.

Accordingly, all the requirements to hold the match are in place. As communicated to Mr. Rahul Johri, CEO, BCCI in 2 meetings, we face a precarious situation. At present the Association does not have any authorised signatory and hence nobody is in a position to take decisions pertaining to appointment of various agencies, finalising the ticket prices and signing of agreement with BCCI. We discussed various options to conduct the match, including asking the BCCI to conduct it with our committed support.
