The historic Mahindra manual scoreboard at Wankhede Stadium, a beloved fixture since 1974, has been dismantled and replaced by a lavish air-conditioned enclosure for current and former Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) Apex Council members.

This move has sparked a debate among cricket enthusiasts, who fondly recall the scoreboard's detailed displays and uninterrupted service. The manual scoreboard’s legacy is now overshadowed by the AC lounge and the new lift, which carries the Apex Council members to this lavish AC lounge.

New cricket museum

On one hand, a cricket museum showcasing historical items is all set to open in the next few months. On the other, a piece of history, like the manual scoreboard, has been dismantled.
