Tendulkar has “consented to `Ring the Bell’ to inaugurate the 4th ODI”, said CCI, which manages Brabourne Stadium. It was striving to make the game “a unique experience not only for the cricketers of both the teams but for the cricket crazy Mumbaikars as well,” the CCI said. It also said that the pitch was expected to result in a “high-scoring” match. International cricket is returning to Brabourne Stadium after nine years. It had last hosted a Test match in 2009 when India took on Sri Lanka. It had hosted an ODI last in 2006. Usually practise matches of the international visiting teams are held at the CCI.
Sachin Tendulkar will inaugurate the 4th ODI between India and Windies at Brabourne Stadium by ringing the bell. It’s the first international match at the stadium since the India-Sri Lanka Test in 2009.
