T20 World Cup 2026 Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
India Today
T20 World Cup 2026 Venue: The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is one of the most loved venues in Indian cricket. The Wankhede promises electrifying action every time players take the field. Wankhede can host up to 33,500 people.
The Wankhede Stadium is where Indian cricket often feels closest to its own heartbeat. Set against the Arabian Sea in the heart of Mumbai, the ground carries an energy that blends the city’s chaos, ambition and romance into every game played there.
Unlike the overwhelming scale of Eden Gardens, the Wankhede is intimate and sharp and was established in 1974. At Wankhede, the stands rise steeply, the noise travels fast, and the pressure builds quickly for visiting teams.
There is little room to hide. Every edge, every misfield, every mistake is amplified by a crowd that understands the game deeply and demands intensity in return.
Wankhede’s history is rich with defining moments. It is where India lifted the 2011 World Cup, with MS Dhoni’s iconic six sealing a night that still feels unreal.
