During the Rohit Sharma Stand inauguration ceremony, Rohit said, 'Firstly, I would like to thank everyone who has come here to make this event so special. What is going to happen today, I never dreamt of it. As a kid growing up, wanting to play for Mumbai, for India, no one thinks about things like these. For me, it's like any other sportsman who wants to give their best. Serve the nation, the country, as much as possible. While doing that, you try and achieve a lot of things. A lot of milestones are created, but something like this is really special. Wankhede is such an iconic stadium; there are so many memories here."
'For me to have my name amongst the greats of the game and the world's top political leaders, I cannot express what the feelings are. For that I am really, really grateful, honoured and very thankful to all MCA members and not to forget the Apex Council Member. For me to be honoured while I am playing makes it special. I have retired from two formats, but I am still playing one format. It'll be a surreal feeling when I come here and play on the 21st against the Delhi Capitals, representing Mumbai Indians. It'll be a very special feeling.'
'It will even be more special when India plays whichever team here; that'll make it even more special. To get this honour in front of my mom, dad, my brother and his wife and my wife. I am so, so grateful for all the people in my life, for all that they have sacrificed. Of course my team Mumbai Indians, are here, who are waiting for my speech to get over so they can start training."
