Though India lost the Mumbai Test by a huge margin of 201 runs, those two days Vengsarkar spent at the ground watching Clive Lloyd’s 242 motivated him to have the same number of runs for his Podar College a couple of days later

Former India and Mumbai captain Dilip Vengsarkar turned back the clock to 1974-75 on Friday when the Mumbai Cricket Association honoured him by naming a section of the North Stand at Wankhede Stadium after him.
“I played my first match here [at Wankhede] in 1974, which was a Vizzy Trophy game between West Zone and Central Zone. At that time, construction of the North Stand had just started. I scored 120 runs in that match. After one year, India were playing their first Test match at the same ground versus West Indies and I watched that match with my coach VS Patil from the same North Stand,” Vengsarkar said.
