Wankhede Stadium IPL records: Who has scored most runs and picked most wickets in Mumbai IPL matches?

Wankhede Stadium IPL records: The iconic stadium has hosted a total of 153 T20 matches in the last one and a half decade.

The first match of the upcoming 15th season of the Indian Premier League will be played between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders in Mumbai on March 26.

As per the custom, defending champions Super Kings’ home ground would’ve hosted this season’s first match. However, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, all 70 IPL 2022 league matches will be played in Mumbai and Pune.

Wankhede Stadium, which had hosted IPL 2021 matches before it was suspended due to a deadly second COVID-19 wave in India, will be hosting 20 league matches this year.

Readers must note that each team will be playing four league stage matches at the Wankhede Stadium. Unlike all other teams, Mumbai Indians will have an added advantage of playing at their home ground.
