The ball may be sailing out of the ground, thanks to the sledgehammer shots at the high-octane Indian Premier League but not everybody is applauding wildly. Raj Purohit, vice-president of Garware Club House (GCH), located next to Wankhede Stadium at Churchgate, on April 26, wrote a 1.5-page letter to the Mumbai Cricket Association with the subject line mentioning that there is “harassment to members and financial loss to the club because of so many IPL matches being played at the Wankhede Stadium”. 

The letter has been copied to Sharad Pawar, president GCH and the Police Commissioner, Zone 1 Mumbai. Purohit said he is now awaiting a response.
