"Hey Rohit. Guess you hit so many sixes into those stands that they had to name one after you!" Dravid began, drawing smiles from fans.

He continued with admiration: "I’m sure as a young boy going into the iconic Wankhede Stadium — truly one of the great stadiums in the world — you would’ve wanted to have some great performances there, which you have done. I’m not sure you dreamt about having a stand named after you, but that it has come to that — it’s a just reward for your contribution to both Mumbai and Indian cricket.”

Adding a cheeky twist, Dravid signed off with a classic punchline: "And when I’m short on tickets in Mumbai — now that you have a stand — I know who to contact.”
