Members of the Bombay team which played the first Ranji Trophy game at the Wankhede Stadium (v Baroda in 1974-75) got R100 as match fees back then. On Wednesday, at a felicitation function for that side, they received R10 lakh each.
The function was part of the Wankhede Stadium’s golden jubilee celebrations.
