The incredible 50 years of the Wankhede Stadium was celebrated by over 60 international cricketers from Mumbai, both men and women, as the iconic legends joined the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) to celebrate this historic occasion on Sunday (January 19) in grand fashion.
Apart from these moments and cultural festivals that showed Marathi culture, Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar’s dance was one of the major highlights of the event in Mumbai. Gavaskar delighted the audience by dancing to the title track of Shah Rukh Khan's Bollywood hit “Om Shanti Om” after the anchor requested him to join.
Even Diana Edulji also joined the legendary India batter, as the duo set the stage on fire with their moves. Sunil Gavaskar grooved enthusiastically to the “Om Shanti Om” song, and even he showed his singing talent by humming this song at the anchor's request. Sachin Tendulkar was also singing the “Om Shanti Om” song in the viral video shared by the MCA.
