Wankhede Stadium — visitor guide

Wankhede is where India lifted the 2011 World Cup, and on an IPL night the noise rattles around the steel-truss roof like nowhere else. It's bang in the middle of Churchgate, near Marine Drive — the suburban rail stops at Churchgate and Marine Lines are the way in, and the neighbourhood is packed with places to eat before the gates open.
