It was built in 1937 as a tribute to Lord Brabourne, Bombay’s then Governor. Under the custodianship of the Cricket Club of India (CCI), Brabourne Stadium swiftly ascended to become Mumbai’s cricketing heart with a capacity to house 20,000 [later increased to 50,000].
The oldest stadium in Mumbai is the Brabourne Stadium.
The Brabourne Stadium is an international cricket stadium in Mumbai built in the British Bombay era. It is the home ground of the Mumbai men’s and women’s cricket teams. It can accommodate 50,000 people for sports matches.
The ground is owned by the Cricket Club of India (CCI). The North Stand of the Brabourne had housed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) headquarters and the 1983 Cricket World Cup trophy until 2006, when both were moved to the newly built Cricket Centre at the nearby Wankhede Stadium.
