This photo has a very special place in my heart. From being a 10-year-old boy who was sneaked into the North Stand with only 24 tickets for 25 eager fans, to having my statue unveiled at the iconic Wankhede, life has truly come full circle. I still remember our joyous chants, the camaraderie of that group, and the overwhelming support of the @NorthStandGang over the years. To think that I first stepped foot in Wankhede as a fan, then went on to be the ball boy in the '87 World Cup, lifted the 2011 World Cup, and played my last international game here – it is a journey words can't capture.
This statue isn't just mine. It is a dedication to every non-striker, my cricket heroes, every teammate, every colleague, who stood by my side, for without them, this journey wouldn’t have been possible.
Wankhede, and cricket, you've been very kind. 🏏💙🇮🇳
ঠিক যেন গল্পের ফিনিক্স পাখির ফিরে আসার মতই ফিরে আসা। হয়তো গল্পকেও হার মানায়!!
বানানো মিমগুলো প্রিন্ট করে ছিঁড়ে ডাস্টবিনে ফেলে দে এবার!!

@EBRG_1920 @borjaherrera6 Our team showed a good brand of football during our last match. These guys need time to play at their peak. We must not lose faith in them. Please be patient and we will see the desired results. Joy East Bengal ❤️💛
