The Chief Minister was responding to a request made by Naik, who minutes earlier had said that Mumbai should have a stadium big enough to host the final of a global event. The last final the city hosted was in 2011, when the memorable 50-over ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 final was held there. Since then, the city has hosted three semifinals at ICC events – the 2016 T20 World Cup, the 2023 World Cup, and the recent 2026 T20 World Cup.
